Be great to meet sailor's and live-aboards in Eastbourne, been here 5 years now but only know friendly sailors on my pontoon.

Just moved there but will not be going back to the boat till late September due to other commitments

We would love to get to meet others on the marina when we return

Last year, June 2010, I did a yacht delivery and was weather bound in Eastbourne for 5 days. I didn't know anyone lived there?

All the buildings surrounding the marina look and feel as if a Neutron Bomb has killed everyone and left all the buildings standing, the place seemed so desolate! ;eek:

The Italian guy running the fish and chip shop was awful and rude.

I did enjoy chatting to the crew of the fishing boat "Royal Sovereign" and watching it scurry to its berth, just like a car following the roads in a Tesco's car park.

It's the cheapest marina we could find. We do not have much time to use the boat currently so it suits.

It also has a good selection of eateries and we thought the Italian guy at the chippie was a hoot

Everyone we have met so far has been lovely

Haha oh come on, I reckon the buildings here have slightly more character than the huge boring wall you're confronted with every morning you wake up at Brighton
Maybe the place was desolate because they were all hibernating from the bad weather from which you were weather bound! and I agree the italian sergeant major guy is sometimes rude, he seems to have his good days and bad days, he seems quite happy to chat a bit if I strike up a cheerful conversation with him, I'm not sure how much business he makes there but I heard those shops are very expensive to rent.

We are all retired and have our boats in the Med, only there in the winter. Seriously a lot are second homes.
