A glimpse into the latest offshore passage for my 'Weekend Skipper' series!

Here is a sneak peek at our journey out into the Thames Estuary

Slipping lines at 09:00, we took the incredibly capable (and loaned!) £98,000 Quicksilver 755 Weekend out through the busy commercial shipping lanes

The ultimate destination looming on the horizon is the Red Sands Maunsell Forts. Constructed in 1943, these isolated anti-aircraft towers served as London's first line of defence. Even a quick glimpse of these rusting steel giants rising from the North Sea is a profoundly humbling experience
