Nice pic. Where is the boat based?

We are based at Farndon , Nottinghamshire.
The picture at dawn was just outside Grimsby.

That was some distance. What a great trip.

Grimsby was just a stop on the journey .We were on our way to Wells Next the Sea.

Here is the boat on the pontoon in Wells harbour

At low water in Wells do you finish up on the mud or is that bit where the water remains but you cant get out ?

They have dredged along the location of the visitor pontoon so you remain afloat. At low tide on a very hot day I went for a swim off the back of the boat . A few metres away from the boat I could stand up waist deep. The bottom was sandy.
The visitor pontoon was extended (in 2014 I think).

As a general rule you can enter/leave Wells 2 hours each side of high tide.
