This is Sailing Essex

So here we go. Why Sailing Essex, well, why not, its easily reached from East London and all counties to the North of London. Why anyone living in Herts or Bucks would travel down to the Solent to get their sailing fix is beyond me. What with the many rivers, estuaries and much open uncrowded waters to sail, the Essex Sailing grounds are a pleasure.

Yes I know, the water is mostly brown, and in places there isn't much of it, but the navigational challenge that presents to anyone sailing in Essex, gives a real sense of achievement.

So through this Blog I'll try to relay the delights of Essex Sailing, tell tales of the local cruising and racing scene and hopefully spread the word about what's going on for sailors on the Essex coast.
