Hi Fenlander, I went down at Low Tide and had a scout about. The hard in Peter Clarkes boatyard is indeed the best spot. I enquired about launching from there and was told that as long as you don't...

I have launched from there before but parking is a pain and ironically I have a fairly long drive to get there compared to WMersea; it's not far by boat though!

Do you mean the beach at Stone Point in East Mersea? If so then the problem is that you can't get a vehicle anywhere near it!

My story is better anyway since the mouse got killed and the boat got fixed. I don't want anyone to think I set it up by rubbing cheese on the side though.

Thanks for the reply, I was talking about the T shaped pontoon area in general. So I guess the hard between the pontoon and the dabchicks sailing club would be best. I think I'll take a look at very...

I should point out that I hit 20 mph but full speed was mostly 18-19mph. I'm man enough to admit I wouldn't fancy going much faster in that little boat.

This is the floor. Hope the photo attaches! Lightning, to be fair there was almost no wind and the water was like a mirror.
