Get yourself in the Prince William for a well deserved drink.

So jealous you did the trip by sea, I so wanted to do it by sea but Covid lockdowns made it impossible for us last year, we had to use a lorry to rescue her from Wales.

There seems to be more boats coming onto the market in the last few weeks, possibly owners trying to cash in before the potential crash coming. Brokers being brokers are still trying to keep prices high and asking silly prices for 15-20 year old boats, for now they are still selling but it’s...

To me that’s the game changer down there, so nice when the sea is calm like today just to slip the lines and go off for a few hours anchored at Broardsands without having to keep checking the time.

Torquay marina is better than Brixham marina, same can’t be said about the town though. Did you try one of the Plymouth marinas for a full time berth?

I was moored at Brixham all of last season so I know the marina well, they also have a large visitors pontoon. The principal is this, I have paid to use my berth for 12 months, if I decide to go away for a few nights and the marina then fills this berth then technically that money is mine minus...

My sentiments exactly, it’s like renting a hotel room for a year and then finding out someone is sleeping in your room when you are not there. I have never told a marina when I’m away and don’t feel guilty about it.

River Dart would be my preferred location but long waiting lists at Darthaven. I’m on the list, by the time I’m at the top I might have a boat again.

Brixham is a lovely marina and has a lot of plus points, all tide access, lots of nearby bays for anchoring / swimming and it’s right in the town. However it also has some big disadvantages, the swell in the marina is horrible with any moderate or above windwith East or North in it. It’s a long...

I used one of these through a Vodafone 4g hub, worked so well I now have it installed at my front door. Blink Outdoor | Wireless, weather-resistant HD security camera with two-year battery life and motion detection | 1-Camera System : Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo Also if you set it up...

I’m not sure that’s completely correct, maybe the larger brokers have a black book but it’s also in the brokers interest to drive traffic to their site and further add to the black book. My boat did make the internet listings but was basically sold before the listings went live, still it...

Prices are definitely not dropping yet and boat sales are red hot, I sold my boat this week in two days to a dealer who paid nearly the full asking price and transferred the money the next day.

Don’t use your fingers…… Don’t ask how I knows this.

I agree, I’ve just ordered 3 cars for work, first one is due in March and the others in June next year, that’s the earliest I can get them and they are nothing special. With demand like this for new, used prices won’t be dropping much any time soon.

Couldn’t of been me, they keep all of the snobs on a different pontoon.
