Lamenting Yarmouth Harbour

Not been back to Yarmouth since refused entry for a short stay May of last year. Had kids and dogs aboard, so for us the buoys were a non starter. Lymington pubs had our cash that weekend.

Since I have been tempted to pay over £40 for my 36', but glad I haven't as I would have lost as circumstances prevented us going. I agree with the earlier post that the Folly offers as good a spot to stop for less than £15.

I appreciate no shows can be a pain, but there is no shortage of non booked arrivals any Saturday, unless the weather prevents. They could introduce a short notice booking and cancellation same day, say up to 2pm

I voiced my concerns direct to Chris Lisher the HM, and received a very well rehearsed party line response. Not interested in listening to the concerns of boaters who have been using their harbour for over 25 years, just as they were not interested in any objections to their master plan for the new layout.

I daresay we will return out of season, when they will be desperate for our money, but for now it is not on our "where shall we go list".

Eventually when the profits fall perhaps they might start smelling the coffee. For now the more boycotting the place the better I say.

I will be sending Mr Lisher a link to this thread.

Gone well downhill, since the welsh guy left!
 
Yarmouth is still very pleasant.
I don't remember the last time we were rafted.
But I will continue to avoid the weekends - All the grumpy people seem to visit then.
