Southwold Video

[Javelin]

We've started to make a video on entering Southwold harbour.
The issue is we do it almost every day so its easy for us to forget something so I thought I'd ask here,

What would you like to see on such a video and what info without it getting too anal.

Route for best depths and timings of entry for 2m draft would be good for me!

I found the approaches OK by keeping on a line between the two waypoints. But what I found disconcerting was the lack of depth just after the harbour wall where a couple of boats more whilst moving across to the centre of the river,

Would be good to mention the fuel berth as you pass it and - please confirm, that both white and red diesel available - this info would be useful to visitors from Belgium and Holland.

Yes it is. Or it was last September with no plans then to change.

Currently beware of fuel berth on the new harbour wall.
Yes indeed it has red and white diesel but two issues remain.
The price is high as the amount Peter (HM) is able to buy does not warrant a decent discount.
If there is a swell make sure you have somebody good on fender duty with a big fender or have a fender board, the sheet piling wall does not lend itself to yachts, powerboats and its questionable whether its any good for fishing boats given the numerous complaints.
They are trying to come up with a solution.
