Brightlingsea Water Taxi

[Fire99]

Evening folks,

Just a quick question really. For a few reasons my dingy down at Brightlingsea is out of action for a few days so will need to use the 'taxi' facilities to get too and fro the pontoon where my boat's moored.

What's the arrangement with the water taxi? Do I need to reach him on the radio and does anyone know the going rate? There normally seems to be a few chaps ferrying people around so i've never been too sure who does what.

Thanks all,

Nik
