I thought I would just post a few tiny fragments from the river here

and here are the salt marshes from the same flikr stream - no idea why that embedded and the other did not
Katie L waits on her mooring
this came up the river last night
the local kids out for their saturday morning indoctrination into sailing
Sweet Pea
First scrub of the season
Woodbridge boat house
Truly an English heaven washed by a river (apologies to Rupert Brooke)
Thought Cutest Boat on The Trot was Shoal Waters!
Good look-a-like.
What a gorgeous place!
Is Wagtail actually Shoal Waters?
No, there is only one Shoal Waters and it is now owned by Tony (Creek sailor) Smith.

Looks like about the perfect place to retire D. Just lovely. As long as it has a decent chip shop and somewhere that sells a decent pie and mushy peas of course. Would love to see a video tour of the village and surrounding countryside with your usual entertaining bit of history, geology, controversy etc thrown in of course. :-)
A big ’70’s Freedom and American flagged too, looks like it was re rigged from it old wishbone.
John fielding photos are great , on his Flickr site. An east Anglian for sure.
I keep forgetting to check the sail clubs web site during race day!
Cheers Warren
That little Wagtail is now up for sale (sadly) – we’ve loved sailing her on the Deben
