First time up the coast - single-handed, in a 20' boat (Norfolk Gypsy).
I make my first proper trip up the coast (28nm) - from the River Bradwell to the Walton Backwaters, and then back again early the next morning. I wasn't sure how long it would take, how I'd manage sailing alone for so many hours, or how tricky it would be to get into the narrow Walton channel at low water. Here's what happened.
