Things the Almanacs don\'t tell you!

Mosquitoes, at the top end of Christchurch Harbour. The little pests got me about 20 times the other day!

What else should be included in the almanacs?

PWC playgrounds, proximity of late-night bars to quays/pontoons. Snootiness of some marina staff, actually, the manifold shortcomings of marinas in all sorts of ways; how long have you got?

Chandleries to be avoided.

What times the water taxis run and how to contact them.

Marque and Model of each of the Real Ales in the YC clubhouse, CV of the Chief Cellarman, and their cost per Imperial Pint.

Decent Sunday Breakfast Cafes in the area. No Croissants(devils work).

Mossies .... Chi HBR

During Govt. cut-backs some years ago ... the Mossie Research Centre on Hayling Ilsand was victim of cash strapping. They had successfully controlled mossie population on the island and surrounding area for years .... that short cash trouble set back the centre and its work decades ... aloowing mossies to thrive and pouplation explode.

Fact !

Re: Mossies .... Chi HBR

Almanacs should use large fonts and red print to warn of water taxis that stop running 15 minutes before closing time
