Any ideas please? 3 x visitor berths - Plymouth - 25th July

I’ve been on those buoys. Absolutely fine and good value BUT there was no way to get ashore in the dinghy with the dog, other than going into QAB who wanted to charge for a short stay… This was a number of years ago, I mentioned it to RWYC at the time and I wold hope that things have changed but you might want to check up

There's a new landing pontoon for tenders, installed by the Cattewater Harbour Commission. It's free, and really convenient. Just on the port side as you head towards Sutton Lock, inside the commercial/ferry/trip boat pontoon. They also have some visitor moorings off Mount Batten. 01752 665934 Moorings – Cattewater Harbour Commissioners

Yes, not before time! I’m guessing not many know about it judging by how quiet its been. It really couldn’t be more convenient for the Barbican and city centre.
 
I seem to recall that a liveaboard was talking about spaces to anchor just outside of mayflower. They dont mind you landing on their pontoons, especially if you are queuing up for a marina berth. I would call Charles and have a chat. I am sure he will work so thing out for you.
 
As an alternative starting point for the CIs, have you considered Salcombe? It’s busy this weekend - 5 boats to a buoy - but there is still space on the visitors pontoon in The Bag and the water taxi can ferry you ashore. You might need to use a tender to take the dogs for their morning walk but you are 17 miles closer to Guernsey than you would be in Plymouth so can afford to start later for the same arrival time.

Absolutely. If we don't find space on our morning ring-around, that's exactly where we'll be headed.
 
Plenty of yachts in there on Sunday - Hope Cove was the best course to windward I could lay when the wind picked up after lunch on my trip from Fowey to Salcombe.
