We got to Ha'penny pier - what a night. The wind blew and boy was it rough - very rough. It was like sleeping in a washing machine, or not sleeping. Things were further complicated by me having left medication at home and having to replace it. By the time we were ready to go we had missed the tide and were still tired. So back to Ipswich Haven Marina for the night. But not to be put off we set off the next morning and got to Bradwell after a wonderful sail. We spent three nights three and walked to an old church whose building could be traced back to Roman times. Sadly work beckoned so back to Ipswich again.
In August we had decided on London as our destination. Once again we stayed at Ha'penny pier - this gives us a two hour start in the morning so is super for an early tide. Also there is a rather nice pub called the Alma that does super food.
The first part of the journey was to Queenborough, tides meant a 6 am start, which was fine for us but I did feel sorry for the small blue boat as we were the one in the middle.
A good journey to Queenborough.
