Moving to the south coast

[oGaryo]

Here you go: lots of useful info in this e-book regarding the river Hamble: http://content.yudu.com/Library/A22...details/754050/The-River-Hamble-Handbook-2013

Thanks for all that Gary. Lots of reading and research to do over the weekend. Pity SWMBOs working otherwise we'd be heading down for a nose around.

Also just checked out your video. Great stuff. Roll on next season and we'll be out there too.

Seems we're all sorted now and April will see us at Shamrock Quay. I think SWMBO is more excited about it than I am . Just got a text from her asking if I'd arranged the transport yet!

Nice one. Hope you have a great season on the bouncy wet stuff

Just out of interest, does the usual 60/40 split on diesel apply in the marinas on the coast?

If you want to pop down to view Lymington, PM me and I will give you lots of information.

The rules on reduced duty on diesel do apply - some marinas advertise their prices at 60/40 split but it is still down to the customer to decide what split they are wish to pay.

Yesterday saw us gently lowered into the wet stuff at Shamrock Quay. Now looking forward to the long summer with wall-to-wall sunshine and gentle breezes I was promised :encouragement:

Hello Shamrock


About to get her feet wet


It was at this point someone asked where the mooring lines were and I realised I'd left them in the car. Popped to the car and got them and in the process left the camera there :ambivalence: so that's the last picture until we're down again tomorrow.
