A fast passage from Lowestoft to Shotley Marina, in the River Stour. For most of the way the wind was light, 5 knots or less, but on the beam (or nearly) with occasional Force 4 giving a close reach.
The coastline has changed to very flat with long estuaries and, compared to what we have seen for many weeks, a huge amount of sailing boats out. Walking along the flood bund from the marina gives a very different landscape view to anything we have seen so far. I have been to this area before for Oppie National Championships many years ago, on holiday, but most particularly to visit Felixstowe on businness. It is somewhat different to be entering the estuary past the container terminals in one's own boat.
