I know most are off to Oostende at half term but it's a bit far for us this year with the little 'un. Anyone interested in a child friendly half term meet on or near the Deben/Ore/Backwaters?
Half term meet?

We will not now be going on the Ootsend trip.
We will be launching Sirenia at Levington some time on the Saturday.
Once we have checked for leaks /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif, got the engine going, sorted mast, sails etc., the intention is to head round to Ramsholt for a day or so.
Be happy to meet up somewhere.
Suggest the Rocks on the Sunday.

A nice idea. As I am unable to anchor with any degree of certainty we'll beach the cat.

Simon, usually there are spare moorings in the Twizzle if you are uncomfortable anchoring.

It is a jolly long row from the Twizzle to The Rocks!
Simon
I am sure that George, The HM at Ramsholt, will sort you a mooring for overnight if you ask him nicely.
High tide is about 12:00 on the Sunday.
It is a spring tide so there will not be a lot of beach at lunch time.
No harm in trying some anchoring practice.
There is good holding on the other side of the channel from the beach.
I would be happy to assist you in messing it up.
I am quite good at that myself /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Yes. I was thinking about the Ostend do, but as I shall be single handing with 2 little uns again, the Deben/Ore/Backwaters would be more child friendly.

I agree about the holding on the other side, but it's a muddy place once the tide is out. Some assistance with anchoring would be very much appreciated, there must be a good reason we don't hold!
I've always fancied trying to get up to Snape, would that suit your family/boat Pyro?

It might suit the family, but the boat will be out of water by Aldeburgh! Happy to give the Ore ago after missing out at the last bank Holiday.

Where on the Ore? I don't know the river - or any other idea for a second location?

If we got to the Ore, I'd recommend a day at Orford to visit the castle and then a day further up at Aldeburgh to go the beach, weather dependant etc. Not a big move from one day to the next, but entertaining the kids is as importanat at sailing for me at this stage.
