Hi Lesley,

What part of Essex? I’m not far from Colchester so make use of the Blackwater.

What set up do you have?

Hi, we use the blackwater , our boat is a octaque ( French made excause the spelling ) with a75 HP outboard, we use Maryland marine . Hope to see you out on the water once we have fixed the engine issues .

Sounds like a proper set up mate, I’m only just dipping my toes I’ve got a 2.4 Sib with a 4HP Outboard...

I normally got out from Heybridge Basin... weather dependent I’m edging towards estuary opening at Tollesbury/Bradwell...

If weather not great I poodle around Maldon Prom/Beeleigh Falls... nearly got caught out last time with tide going out quicker than I estimated!!

Where's Maryland Marine... Maldon side of Radio Caroline or on the seaward side of her?
