Looks good.....

But with the proposed jetty out by the RNLI boat house, will the channel between there and the harbour, which isn't being dredged, scour out enough?, and will they put more facilities in the deeper water areas of the harbour for visiting craft?

I'd love to visit, but can't take to the ground, and at 1.75m would be very very marginal unless I went alongside wall, which is usually occupied by commercial vessels.....

mmm very interesting,especially as my mooring is right next to the proposed position where the new jetty will go.If the acess is going to be at Buxtons Bight then the channell will have to scour out at least another 1-2 ft even to allow dinghy acess,it might be an idea to plough out the channel from the HM office all the way to buxtons bight

i had a chat with the chandlers at wells,looks like it all starts next year,there will be 24/7 acess with what will most likely end up as visitors berths for Keel boats at Buxtons bight,from there it will either be a dinghy ride to the HM quay or a 5 min walk into town
