This was ages ago, the route is somewhat correct but won't be 100% - it was certainly longer than shown here. We definitely started from what was then 'Scouts Offshore' (which became 'Adventure Offshore' then simply 'Offshore') in West Mersea and we spent a night in Shotley Marina. The other night we spent at anchor, possibly in Pyefleet Creek. The date recorded here is accurate to within a decade or so. A friend and I were doing Comp Crew and another chap was doing his day skipper.

Highlights of the trip included almost being run down by a powerboat that was showing no navigation lights during our night passage.
