You can’t beat it when the sun is shining – I tend to sail on the seafront but my last few sessions on the ‘flat’ water of the estuary have been top notch. Maybe that’s a sign of my age!!

Also, I launched from ‘my side’ of the estuary and ended up sailing over to ‘your side’ anyway. The channels over here have silted up quite a bit this last year so aren’t as good as they used to be. They are also changing all the time so I’m always wary of running aground once the tide starts to ebb.
