Have been on the deben for 12 years and just given up a kyson mooring. (and swallowed the anchor sadly) Woodbridge is a great and friendly town. and easy to get to on the train if needed. The Deben is glorious, and beautiful - hopefully I'll find a way to get back on it! Do have to watch the...

Member of Woodbridge Cruising Club. But dont think it will be open Wednesday:( Sailing from Ipswich Haven Marina in the morning so no idea of time at Woodbridge but looking at tides, winds, course, seaweed, it could be anytime! are you planning to be there wednesday?

That should be fun! I had a two stroke 'Mariner' that got dropped and lost in the deben. It was found two years later, stripped, cleaned, rebuilt and runs better than new! (New owner posted on here!) I've a feeling the moorings are on the route around loders cut rather than past it. Probably...

Just wondered, before I commit one way or other.... Any idea where there is a chart of mooring locations? I think 131 is south of Loders cut but...... Being odd number may be on Northern side and thats about it! Thanks added - A bit more info - its near Kyson point and two yachts nearby are...

Plenty of yellow lines you can park on with blue badge.

Lived to tell the tale! In and out over the BH. There were bits that were shallower than expected but at HW never went less than 2m

Have bought a curly expandable hose pipe and used it without problems over the bank holiday at two marinas. Thanks all

I am just amazed that anyone gets so het up about someone asking about marina facilities.

A problem fixed that nobody knew existed! Just an idea. Why couldnt they lend a hose by the hour for a suitable deposit. Then all the stagnant water, dropped in marina, etc problems would be resolved. (just seen - like titchmarsh) If I bring a hose is it a standard garden water pipe push...

I was told all the hosepipes have been removed and you have to take your own. Is this really true? I was going to overnight and take on water etc. Seems odd to me.

Many thanks for video. Crossing on Wednesday - think I'll aim for HW! I would have struggled to see the buoys I'm sure if I hadn't seen how far away they are on the video.

I've not had a chance yet - too much sailing and I've got a temporary mooring at the moment. I'm sure he'll do a deal if he can do two on the same trip. I've heard some big numbers so I may have to look at DIY

I've just been allocated one too! Near Loders cut. No.131 I'll have to get Tam out too. Also try Felixstowe Ferry Boatyard - speak to Andrew-

Many thanks - Bleach and barkeeper friend tried - and failed now I'll get some sticky vinyl!

Any ideas? They are yellowed as not been used / cleaned for a few years. I've tried Cif and coarse sponge - it might work eventually but so far results not very good Options 1. Keep scrubbing for some days..... weeks....... 2. New letters and sew them on - (too much work!) 3. New dodgers -...
