Lowestoft to Wells-next-the-Sea

Left Lowestoft at first light about 04:30. Got to the Wells Bar and grounded. Made Tea and shortly after tide came in and I followed it, being shallow drafted managed to get in before the windfarm engineering traffic. Bit of a bustle very narrow and shallow channel used by alot of windfarm engineering vessels use it and are clearly very buddy with the port. Pleasure craft are regarded as a nuisance and I clearly heard the port master refer to getting me out of the way which was not difficult regarding my 18" draft. Quite what the hurry was I dont know but he seemed to be a very important man.
