VISITORS took to the water as sunshine welcomed hundreds of people to an annual regatta.

The Heybridge Basin Regatta, which took place last weekend, was another success with fun happening on, in and around the water.

It saw participants make and race homemade rafts in the basin, pillow fight while perching on a log and various other activities such as fishing or relaxing by the pier.

Team member Kelly Enefer said: “A brilliant weekend was had by all and the weather made it even better.”
