I head along the coast to the River Blackwater, lots of rain on the way down and problems with my tiller pilot. A stay at Bradwell Marina and overnight anchor on the River Colne. A visit to Maldon to step onboard the WW2 steam driven tug boat 'Brent'. Plenty of rain on the trip down and then lots of wind sailing from Bradwell to the River Colne. This video features a tricky mooring situation where I get overruled by the wind when attempting to depart the marina.
