I'll add another clue later.

The Seychelles.

The Seychelles.

Well that's a more exotic suggestion than I was going to make. I thought it might be the Thames Barrier!

 

[sarabande]

Thames Barrier is closer than the Seychelles, but still too far E.


Mud and the height of the uprights may help.

Hoover Dam?

Channel Islands.

Bristol Channel somewhere.

 

[sarabande]

Warmer. (But it wasn't, really. It was a bit chilly there today)

 

[ANDY_W]

Watchet?

 

[sarabande]

Yes, virtual pint.

It's part of the daft design that seems purposed to trap mud within the marina.


Here's a view to the E, with snow still on the hills (interestingly, not the highest part as it drifted down from the top). The foreshore covers a large area which was once a productive oil field, with Welsh coal being used to heat oil out of shale rocks. It's a contingency resource for hydrocarbons, and you can pick up rocks and burn them on beach barbecues. Bit smelly, though.

I live not too far from there and have looked at keeping the boat in the marina, but the sailing area is very unforgiving compared to most other areas.

Agreed, it's either out and back in again a couple of hours later, or Lookout Cardiff, Here We Come.

Good social life, though.
