Evening all. Sort of planning a little cruise down the Blackwater to Pyfleet next w/end. Does anyone know anything about the moorings there? A chap mentioned that you can pick one up for a £5 fee and get ashore on a concret slip in the dinghy, which would be handy for Inca to do his business.

Is there a contact number or VHF call sign or summat?

As always, all help most appreciated.

i was there thursday night & anchored ( Bruce ) as i wasnt sure about cost.
there are quite a few new shiny white bouys.
due to unforeseen circumstances i had to leave by 06.15 Friday on the ebb, so didnt see anybody collecting wonga
 
Just turn up, really. If you're not happy about anchoring (and most people do anchor, holding is excellent) there are indeed 'visitor moorings' which are large white buoys with a decent strop on them, together with an plaque explaining that the overnight charge is £10. Turn up late and leave early, and you are unlikely to be troubled - no guarantee though.
 
I propose to anchor for the rest of the year at Aldeburgh, I will have saved enough fivers by December to buy all my family a present and have a bit left over for fish & chips and a pint.:D
 
Wasnt trying to save a tenner...

... just thought it would be nice to anchor/moor in a peaceful place. However, perhaps B/Sea is the answer after all. Inca has been there before. The pontoon is nice and it might be better all round. Fish and chips are first class too. Any suggestions re. showers in B/Sea?
 
Anyone picking up and paying for the buoys in the Pyefleet is merely encouraging Kerrison to further vandalise what used to be a lovely anchorage. There is still some room, but nothing like what it used to be before he got his grubby hands on it.
