Makes Breydon look easy

Pic attached shows  what happens outside the safety of the broads. It's kinda well known here (Medway estuary)  and is just off the main (unmarked) channel so it's an easy one to hit if you aren't paying attention and aren't looking at the chart plotter (although it's not really marked).

Apparently the owners were seen doing the good thing and scrubbed the bottom whilst waiting for the tide to turn

Not sure if that's a lucky or not - either way if that was me I would be buying a lottery ticket just in case!!

Don't think they could have 'placed' it there any better than that.

There is a few old farm buildings out there so perhaps the banks have slowly washed away leaving things like this.. 

P.s Steve you are navigating when we come through  You may want to start researching the medway estuary charts

I'll be putting the kettle on at that point mate. You leave me at the helm and this will be me

They're either braver than me or

That boat looks perilously unstable... almost as if it's been photoshopped.

I think they had choice but to be brave John. I'm not sure what keel she has, but if it's a bilge keel it's certainly doing well sitting there. Photo is all legit, I know Will who took it.  Good news was she got off safely.

I think it's a wonderful photo, it's not often you see a Sailie Type on the mud/rocks is it?  that'll teach em for zig zagging all over the place and making people run and hide in their cabins, I'm even thinking of printing this picture off for Tan (Mrs Ranworthbreeze) and me to keep with us and every time we are made to run and hide in fear in our cabins, shove that up at the window and show em what can happen if they ain't careful, now who's scared, eh? lol

Hell's bells you couldn't have planted that better if you had tried, what are the odds of doing that.... As said, I'd be buying lottery tickets right now....
