Wells-Next-The-Sea > Lowestoft / by Tim Wilson

A day sailing a gentle curve around a coast of endless beaches, groynes, low crumbling cliffs, churches, lighthouses and an occasional windmill - to the easternmost town in the UK.

Kept close to the shore to reduce effect of powerful tide in the afternoon. Constant tiring attention required by wind continually varying in strength and direction (so not many photos!)

Left at 5am and carefully following the red and green buoys out of the estuary to the North Sea

Seals and beach huts

Entering Lowestoft harbour. Tide was running at over 2 knots across entrance and so to make it had to aim further up stream and actual track over the ground going sideways which felt quite surreal!
