F4-5 wind over tide and not makimg much progress.
Got to the River Ore at LW thinking I would follow the tide in, WRONG!!! a very strong current flows downstream so had to flog the motor for a couple of hours tuntil finally the current relented nothing to anchor with as the bottom is loose shingle for about 2 miles.

Slept well at anchor but woke to find that the boat had dragged anchor to the other side of the river. Started motor which cut out when attempting to lower revs to engage gear. Could not restart. Flaghged down passing Motor Boat "Magister" with John Bartholomew for advice. Tow was offered to Orford, which was accepted.
Boiled down events... My attempted to fix engine by with redex failed. Art of Deben Marine acted as fixer Great bloke Art.
Did tourist thing on Orfordness. Bleak even in midsummer.
