Does anyone want to talk about the Swale? No-one ever seems to mention it-nm

[Guest]

I kept my boat at the boat yard right at the end of Oare Creek......

was it called 'Young's'? A really lovely creek, but the smell really was the worst you could imagine - I did honestly throw up once as we went by...

Swale Marina is at the head of Conyer Creek, Youngs is still going strong at the head of Oare Creek. I'm pretty sure the glue factory is long gone - the biggest industry nearby is a large transport depot for Marks & Sparko and I've never seen any evidence of a glue factory in the last 5 years or so- it's safe to come back now, Neal!

The Swale is an interesting place to sail - and the vertically lifting Kingsferry rail bridge is great fun to go under. Please see my website pst about Queenborough and the Swale, Isle of Sheppey
