Had a Good Sail with ‘Pike’


High water neaps at the start from Ferry Road slipway

The weather forecast for today was accurate, and most importantly there was a light wind from the north. Conditions couldn’t have been better for a sail to Burnham from Hullbridge. Not counting tacks, ‘Pike’ did a total of 18 nautical miles - 3 ¼ of them under oar.


There will be more photos tomorrow, along with a brief account of how things went.

Good to read it went well Bill. Guess you will sleep well tonight after rowing more than three miles.
