Thallata

Met this barge as we left the Orwell and passed her just after Cliff Foot.
She followed us to Medusa and on to the Eagle where we went on towards the Blackwater whilst she turned inland and headed towards Brightlingsea at Bench Head.
Here we are both motoring but s short while after the breeze filled in and we had a couple of very pleasant hours running downtide on a close reach.
The auto-pilot did a fantastic job of keeping Saffron on course.
