To sayl out of Harwich.
In the North-Channel you may sayl out, as is before described in the going in, till you come without the Fort; then bring the two Light-houses into one, and so sayl out, till you bring the steeple open of the Land to the southward of Bawdsey-Cliff, then are you clear of the Andrews and Ridge; then steer North-east by East, until you bring Harwich-Church on the North side of a black House, called the Brew-house, which stands a little to the northward of Land-guard-Fort, keeping them Marks so standing, until you bring Bawdsey-Church open a little to the northward of the North end of Bawdsey-Cliff, then are you open of the Sledway.
Between Alborough and Dunwich, half way, lyeth a Wood, which is high at both ends, and the midst low, in form of a Saddle; this you shall commonly see first, when you fall with the Land thereabouts, and is the best to know the Coast by, for the Land without, and to the southwards, is very low, and shingly ground; about two leagues to the southward of Alborough, lyeth Orfordness; between them both there standeth two Woods, which sheweth at a distance like Castles and Towers; on Orfordness standeth a flat steeple, and a broad Castle, which hath also a thick flat steeple, almost in fashion like the steeple of Ranop, open above, with Holes in it like Bell-holes; before Dunwich you may anchor; there is good lying in eight or nine fathom water, somewhat soft ground: Before Alborough is the best Road of all the Coast thereabouts, in six or seven fathom.
