How about a not whereizzit, but your places pics?

Grand Greve, Sark. We have the bay to ourselves!

Good pic! You know, we've often found it equally deserted on warm summer evenings. For whatever reason visiting yots seem irresistibly magnetised to the buoys in Havre Gosselin which can simultaneously be packed. And the HG moorings also seem - at least to me - to suffer from more wave surge.

The only down side with it is the climb up to the bridge

That's true, but if you go up at lunchtime or in the evening, the not that cheap but really quite charming La Sablonnerie is only about a km south. Lovely garden tables also for long lunches when the weather is warm. Great seafood too with just a touch of Basil Faulty!

....might even have gone there this Easter :cry:
 
Have hey got rid of the feral dogs?

The poor creatures are probably starving right now. Generally they're less of a problem than they used to be, or perhaps it's just because we now know many of them and they us and most are actually quite friendly. The rest are easy to bribe ;-)

This is davy bank in wallsend, I used to have a private mooring outside that grey shed with the blue front, just me and a couple of my cousins, best mooring I've ever had.
The sad thing about this pic is that once upon a time both sides of the river were thriving yards teaming with ships and cranes and employing thousands of men, today it's just a desolate wasteland.

So sad, lovely pic and it looks absolutely buzzing.

As our harbour has no water for more hours a day than it does with, I thought this was more representative of being in lockdown than a shot of boats afloat.

It does mean that if you live close by you can Walk to your boat!! :)

Yup! only a 1.5 miles downhill from home. The only trouble is that the slip seems to get steeper to walk up every year, but sometimes its pleasant just to wander out to the boat and potter around doing the odd bit of maintenance, have lunch and just watch the world go by.
11.29am should have added the information that on some very low neaps, my 3' draft doesn't even lift of the bottom, so jus can't get out.
