Sorry To Leave.

                                            Swinging moorings at North Fambridge - Dawn.

I will be sorry to leave North Fambridge  and the river Crouch for many reasons.

The friends that I've made.

When the winds not blowing a gale, this part of the river is like paradise.

The great service from Toby and Paul at the Yacht station.

The ferryboat inn (500 years old).

The neat little station - 20 minutes walk away.

The whole area has so much to do - with easy access to Bradwell & Brightlingsea.

The little bolt holes where I have tucked in for the night at anchor.

                                          8 swallow fledglings that adopted Blazer while anchored
                                          in Yokesfleet - very early one morning last year.

The wildlife - especially the seals.

So why leave?

I have always wanted to explore Brittany by boat, having had so many holidays there in the past.

And I can always come back - There is no fixed plan.

Mike.
