We've just been to a wedding in Essex and spent a couple of nights there. We naturally visited the coast and went to Heybridge Basin where the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation meets the tidal River Blackwater.

This is the sea lock and the pub next to it.

The lock and boats above it.

There are a number of old wrecks there.

This shows the same wrecks but you can see the shape of the back - my phone was struggling for resolution on zoom here.

Image

And one boat heading to being a wreck or restored - I'm not sure which.

Image

And the boat which surprised us most is....

The wedding was good too

Cheers Graham
