Hi All,
I have my Halcyon23 a 23ft sailing boat moored in Cardiff Marina. I am planning to move her across the Bristol Channel to Uphill Marina, in Somerset this coming Monday afternoon. Is there anything I should be weary of and watchful for. I am a newbie in the sailing world and this will be my first major trip. I will only be motoring across the channel as I need some mast work done and cannot put up the sails. Any help or advice would be gratefully appreciated. I have already found out that I need to contact the Barrage to raise the Pont y Werin when leaving the berth. Then contact them to open the barrage, but that's all I know.
