The plan is that our last ever excursion aboard Brigantia should be to drop downriver on Wednesday afternoon, drop the hook for the night in the Brankfleet and then leave at stupid-o-clock o Thursday morning to make it into Tollesbury by midday
However, it looks like the weather gods might have other ideas ...
For starters, a South Easterly 5 gusting 6 isn't an attractive proposition overnight in an anchorage that is aligned North - South
As if that wasn't bad enough, the morning brings us SE 6 gusting 7 and that really is "no go" territory.
Life would be distinctly unpleasant if not downright dangerous once the Maplin Sands covered and even worse as we approached the Spitway and exposure to the full fetch across the Middle Deep
Nope, if that forecast doesn't moderate in the next 48 hours we'll have to contemplate a plan 'B'
