Essex marshes

A drawing by my brother Colin Grimes of one of our boats pulled up onto the grass island on the Pyefleet marshes near West Mersea in the late 40s. The boat was called Sudden Death due to us fitting a sail on what was supposed to be a rowing boat. Happy to say it didnt live up to its name but did result in a lot of involuntary swimming. Strood Villa can be seen in the background.
