Hi... got to do this trip in a few weeks, I draw 0.9m, going to come in on a rising tide of a couple of hours to drop a boat off up the river, any advice ?🙏

Hi John , Absolutely stunning, mate !! Bloody well done !! Been in , from page 1 , on RCSB !! Fantastic , mate !! Cheers. Phil

Yes still in correct positions.

Are tbe bouys positioned correctly😊

Why are they hammering in the tide next to channel mark! :) Used to be plenty of water near the Bawdsey side and less tide. Nice video:)

Such a helpful video. Thank you

We owned Starlight 39 hull 39 (Diamond Blue) for about 12 years and it was fantastic. You could not feel safer in any boat than a starlight. The only downside was the small water and fuel tanks which reflect the age iIf it’s design.

Great views of the Deben estuary

Since this is such a smaller vessel, did you get sea sick?

Thanks. I've just come in to the Ore and scraped my bottom. I can confirm that the green Weir buoy is not in a good position. Think you need to stay 20-30 yards south of it

Endlessly fascinating to see the ever changing channel and sand banks. Thanks so much for taking and sharing these

To see the entrance visually like this is so useful. Many thanks John.

Many, many thanks for posting this. I’ve been following the thread on the PBO forum and that’s where I found the link to your video. I’m new to the Deben and have a Leisure 17sl bilge keeler that draws about 18”, it’s fitted with a Mariner 5 hp outboard. I keep it at Waldringfield and have to say that the thought of ‘crossing the bar’ has caused me a great amount of angst.. but seeing this video it has eased my mind completely, what I thought was going to be a boiling maelstrom turned out be be quite benign…. but I’m sure there are days that it will catch you out! Is there a reason why you went at half flood? I’m absolutely no expert but I would have thought nearer high tide would have given more depth and less of a flood tide to battle against? I’d be really interested in your thoughts on my little boat and 5hp against this….. also thinking about the Alde bar for the future……. that is If I ever get past this one 😉 Many thanks once again. R

just came across your video John whilst researching a bit on the Deben. That's some tide running! Weather permitting, hoping to visit the Deben this weekend (Friday/Saturday) and hoping to pick up a visitor mooring at Ramsholt. I did the trip a few years ago in my Dabber but this time will be in my Konsort. Another great video. David

Lovely video

Many thanks for this. Helps us visiting yachtsmen considerably!

Thanks. Look like to stay well south of the Weir this year 🤔👍

Thank you - a terrific overview and a very great help for incoming visits from the Deben this season.

Catherine said the cabin looked like Buckingham Palace must have been lovely sitting at that window looking out. Hope you did not sell Nakita to pay for it 🙈. Now gonna research the price 😉

My goodness what a lovely boat and you had an incredible cabin. Getting back on Nakita will seem odd after that 😁 looks an incredible trip

Cool video!👍👍👍

The End is near my brothers and sisters. May Allah make us those who are blesses with Jannah

The bar looks dangerously shallow near West Knoll buoy. That's a warning for us windsurf foilers!

Really good ... thank you

The so called short cut fisherman’s channel looks much better this year. Would be fine at highest water me thinks Add a little cheery music to these videos it will add some joy

Absolutely beautiful thank you ❤️ my mum walked up and down that walkway at the river’s mouth with me the day before I was born and it was very special for her but we moved to another country when I was a child and I’ve never been able to see it myself. Thank you for this lovely video

Nice video, made me smile and brought a little tear to my eye. Walton Backwaters were the playground of my youth in the late sixties and where I learnt to sail. I was sailing my Drascombe Dabber there last year but this year it will be a Westerly Konsort we've just bought. Just have to sail her up from Chichester to Titchmarsh. Superb drone shot and now I know what the entrance to the marina is like. Back to Walton again after 50 odd years! See you on the water ☺️.

Fantastic. Really useful.

I saw this from YBW and it is such a lovely video. Roll on the summer (and the end of covid)

The deckhand does a great job.

Very nice video and good choice of Music . Roll on the Spring of 2021

Very mellow and well presented. A lovely trip. What drone do you fly from the boat?

Lovely video, John. Read about it in MOA Compass magazine. Super editing, drone shot to die for, and perfect music. Keep them coming! I really like the pace as well - time to absorb the scenes at a "boaty" speed.

saw this boat the other day just getting onto its mooring, I was out on a first try with my yacht "Half A Crown" blue and white colour..

great - many thanks

What drone did you use?

Well done, John. You've got her sails trimmed beautifully.

Brilliant. Thank you.

Nice vid JR - thought the Gulwaffe were going to take Mavis down!! T2

Cheers John and Mavis (the Mavic) for the Video. It shows the rate of incoming tide well, next trip out over to the Bawdsey side for me, picking up the eddy, prior to cutting back over avoid the spit. Chris.

Perfect landing.

Pretty cool John!

WOW!
