Stone is on the Blackwater near Bradwell. It's good cos we can get out at any state of the tide and theres always somewhere to find varied water which is good for skiracing practice.

I think mr dangerous now has Phantasm.
Taz, no slipway, but just up the road is Bradwell Marina and thats about £12 for a launch & recovery. the blackwaters a bit more open than the crouch & all.
although taking into consideration "the oyester smack" Burnham has better boozers

Burty my boat is Phantasm that we brought from Tony G, always loved that boat, although it seems to be plagued with bad luck. Maybe it's just us ! Still, got it sorted now hopefully and looking forward to givin it plenty at SUNNY HUNNY on Sunday!
