We are planning as well. Could anybody confirm what the water taxi situation is? I've promised my son a fish curry & don't want to worry whether we're get back.

Water taxi

Just call on M1 (37) "Brightlingsea water taxi" and he will arrive shortly after. Runs from 09:00 to about 23:00 at weekends. Cost £1 per person each way. The Kovalam is great and so is the fish and chip shop.

Regards

Fish Curry

A word to the wise, you probably will need to book if you are going to the Kovalam its VERY busy.

The number is 01206305555.

Or if we all want a curry and want to share a table, let me know and I will book!

I think Tadpole is an Anderson 26, I'm in a slightly smaller (by 4') version called Sea Moon

Hi Ian Yes she is and sadly was the last one out of the mould. What colour is your 22?

 

[ianc1200]

I think same as yours; dark blue hull and was off white topsides (various shades now). Was yours the one I've seen on a buoy on the Burnham waterfront?

Tadpole has a Black hull with cream topsides. The A26 you saw at Burnham was probably Amber.

Saw this one off Bradwell in early July. No number on sails, but the name was "Kentish Plover"

Ah yes I know of her too, Her owner just recently contacted Andy Lawson enquiring about A26 handicaps!

There is one other you probably know of and thats Griffin, she's down at Chichester.

Sadly now £1.20. Or it was 2 weeks ago. We were pleased that he was running until 2300 hours which was useful when we wanted one last drink.

 

[ianfr]

£1.20 ??? Well we are living with deflation apparently

I wonder if we still have to tip them with all this extortion!

 

[ianfr]

TIP!!!

Hope everyone had a good weekend as we did; met up unexpectively with some friends, got a nice mooring on the pontoon at Brightlingsea, went to get a takeaway at the Kovalam at 6:30 but found they had room for us 6 (it was very crowded when we left), really fabulous food and cheap too.

Is Tadpole moored permanently in Bradwell creek now?
