Ship Ahoy!

Spotted this one at lunchtime, making quite fast progress along the coast, probably on it's way down to Brightlingsea or Maldon. In the heat haze behind are some of the turbines of the Gunfleet Sands Wind Turbine Array.

But is this a boat or a ship? Wikipedia says that a ship is usually called such if it's big enough to carry another vessel. Well this one has a dinghy on board, so maybe it's not a boat and really is a ship.

19 C today, no rain and no wind - wonderful for mid September.
