Marina not ready to negotiate

And you are getting a refund on past overcharging

To be fair, I paid the under 8.1m rate last year as an incentive to keep the boat at the marina when I bought it. So I haven't actually ever been overcharged.

Just glad to be staying put really. I went to Cobbs last week for a VHF course and although it looks like it's got great facilities it was mahoosive compared to Parkstone Bay and lacked the atmosphere.

We have recently moved our boat, took a 6 month winter rate as very good value, but they had no berths other than visitors, when a permanent berth came up we snapped it up for another 12 months, have had excellent service from them including rebate 1st full year, + 2.5% discount for early payment ,along with free nights in their other marina,s ,so for us it paid to move, we are now looking forward to exploring new areas .

I was at Cobbs last week and not surprisingly it was pretty empty in view if the time of year and weather ( lacked atmosphere as you put it. ).

Just to say that is not the case in season or when the weather warms up. Takes a bit of time to get to know staff and other boaters. I quite often pop down to the boat to do a few jobs or chill out , and find i get nothing done cos most of the time is spent chatting to fellow boaters. It can sometimes take half an hour for me to walk the 100
yards from my car to the boat - time spent talking to folk i run into.

In fact last year some friends coined the phrase:

"doing a BOBBY ( thats the name of me boat ):

roughly translated it means: Finding any excuse not to do any work !

Happy times.
