    Jubilant Ipswich Town supporters make their way home.

    You probably know who these are, but for those who don’t, it will be the competitors for the RORC North Sea Race making their way down to the starting area off Harwich.

    Casualty of strong wind yesterday

    A small yacht has been blown ashore just above the Tide Mill at Woodbridge. It looks as if it has dragged its mooring. The name may be Paddington, cannot quite make it out with binos . Anyone know the owner?

    Another sad loss.

    Yes that was Simon, I must have known him for about 40 years? Not sure when he first worked at Foxes?

    Caught by the scamera

    Not wishing to disagree, but have you helmed a twin screw diesel m/b whose minimum STW with both engines on tickover is about 2-3kts?

    Deben entrance 2024

    Flood alert

    Just pictures

    Lost canoe on Deben

    I think it would have probably gone further up river with the wind and tide yesterday, but maybe retrieved by the owner.
