Hi Ed

Weather permitting, and we're having a dreadful summer over here, I will have the pleasure of sailing the Nancy Blackett to Secret Water next weekend. We leave from Woolverstone, about a mile upstream from Pin Mill, where AR kept Nancy Blackett, and where Jim Brading kept the selfsame Goblin. The total distance to Flint Island, also known as Stone Point, will be about 11 nautical miles, and will take us fairly close by the Beach End buoy at the mouth of the Orwell.

Secret Water is still very much as AR describes it, though there are usually a good many more "Dhows" anchored off Flint Island - probably twenty last weekend, including my own. On Saturday afternoon my youngest daughter and I navigated through the Straights of Magellan and out into the Red Sea in the dinghy at high water. We didn't follow up with a corroboree, but sacrificed beef burgers and sausages instead on a barbeque on Flint Island, then flew a kite and played boules, but not at the same time.

Bill W-K.
