Ah Jiber, feeling better then if we are not going to Chelmsford, again.
Either works for me. I don't think the tides work for me to bring my sister vessel in as well which would have been fun. There is also a bar at the sailing club and one at the marina but not sure of opening times.
Might be time for a West Mersea Yacht Club visit as well. It's been two years, they've probably recovered.
