We were there earlier in the week, only boat in the bay due to the “northerly” which was 3 knots ? Worth a mention that it’s rolly when the commercial boats pass and expensive at £15 a night. The moorings are also alarmingly close together when there isn’t enough wind to keep boats pulling in the same direction. Pick up any yellow, the reds belong to Sark Yacht Club.
Last time I was there is was free, no commercial boats passing, but that might have been because the fog horn was being well exercised up at the lighthouse.
We used to anchor in Havre Gosselin which also had some Sark YC buoys which if you worked out when their owners were still inside the marinas could be a temporary option though we preferred own anchor. Remember once climbing the hundreds of steps up to the bar in a house (Still there?) and being above thefog bank that our boat was in below, spooky going back down the steps into it There is an interesting passage between Sark and the fortified island that is fun to take too but only with the flow
Yes the lady in the information centre said a lot of people don’t pay up, and seemed surprised we intended to pay. There has been a charge for a long time and a sign on the steps now telling you to go to the information centre to pay. Not sure the sign was there last time I went, but good to contribute to their upkeep and the local economy. That said their economy seems to be doing a little too well as it’s quite “built up” since I last visited and a lot of traffic. All still tractors but a constant stream now, quite a shame to see the island go this way.
Couldn’t find it. There’s a proper well established chain pub but couldn’t find the more quaint stuff. High street jam packed with shops now too, and an estate agent selling off plots…
