Harwich and Dovercourt, Essex, England
Harwich and Dovercourt are two adjoining seafront towns in Essex; with Felixstowe in Suffolk being clearly visible on the other side of the bay. Harwich, with its port and on the quay the original halfpenny pier, has fond memories for my wife; especially in seeing the Patricia in dock undergoing a refit on this revisit to Essex. The Patricia she knows well from the times when her uncle Jim regularly served on it before his retirement from the service.
Dovercourt is a tranquil seaside resort with its beaches and rows of beach huts on the sea front, and boating ponds and a seaside cafe just back from the promenade. On the beach of Dovercourt, and just off shore are the two distinctive lighthouses. The Dovercourt boating ponds are home to a colony of swans which has grown significantly since our last visit many years ago.
When we used to visit Dovercourt regularly (many years ago) to stay with in-laws for the week Mistral the swan was the star attraction on the boating ponds, her interests being cared for by the local Harwich Environment Action Team. Mistral, during her ten year life in Dovercourt, unusually for a swan (who usually mates for life) had a string of partners and for periods had two suitors simultaneously. Over the years she reared many young so I'm sure many of the present swan population in Dovercourt are descendants of Mistral.

Rediscover The Pier at Harwich
The Pier at Harwich offers two superb restaurants, each very different in style and atmosphere, giving guests plenty of choice. On the first floor, the Harbourside certainly has the WOW factor with a polished pewter bar on the upper level -- perfect for pre-dinner drinks or maybe a glass or two of Champagne and oysters. The views from the restaurant take in the Stour and Orwell estuaries and the harbour below. On the ground floor, the Half Penny Pier (named after the Victorian pier outside) is a lively bistro with a nautical atmosphere and a modestly priced menu with an emphasis on seafood. Typical dishes include the famous Pier at Harwich fish and chips. The Ha'Penny Bistro's informal, relaxed atmosphere and children's menu make it a popular choice for families.

Jojoben.be 12/04/2015 Boat Trip to Historic Harwich
On a beautiful, but windy day in April 2015, the family decided to go on Victoria, the sail boat, from Ipswich to Harwich. It was an absolutely fantastic experience, but we did get quite wet, while the children were playing inside. With 20 kts wind and 29kts gusts, accompanied by 1.1 metre waves, we finally made it to HalfPenny Pier in Historic Harwich, where we had enjoyed ourselves a well-earned Fish and Chips and a stroll around town. It was an absolutely great day to never forget. We decided to show some of the action on the river Orwell and Stour to then proceed with a tour of town. We used the SJ4000 action cam for this movie.
Enjoy and leave a comment if you can.

Visit Historic Harwich, England
Historic Harwich, possibly the most hospitable town in England. On our recent trip, several members of The Harwich Society greeted us at the train station. Peter Chandler, Harwich Society tour guide, gave us a walking tour of many of the town's historical sites. Next, Ray Plummer, archivist, showed us the old jail and provided much history of it. Finally, Dave McLeod, Mayor of Harwich, and many town officials greeted us in the Guildhall with tea and much hospitality. Indeed, our visit to Harwich was the highlight of our cruise vacation.

Tom's Catch of the Day
Tom's Stag Day - a trip on Tom Szado's boat to catch striped bass off the Cape Cod caost line out of Harwich Port. This one's 33lb. Great day's fishing thanks to skipper Tom's expertise and experience. The crew of six caught over 25 fish between them that day. The evening barbecue was a meal to remember.
