Titchmarsh Marina to Stone Point

[ChattingLil]

me again! Still sorting out our means of approach...

can anyone say how FAR it is between Titchmarsh Marina and Stone Point (usefully, I have left all my charts on board).

Thanks
Lisa

roughly 2 miles?

about 1/2nm (ish) up a very sheltered channel......

Its a long walk from the marina if you are thinking af using the marina .. We will be anchoring hopefully .. We will also deploy all our fenders just in case .. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif .. Its not a bad enterance .. Safe Water mark and then follow the cans .. Stone Point is to port .. Sandy beach .. Well we hope thats it .. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Just in case the distance is putting you off, its a really nice trip in a tender...... we've done it lots of times, and its a popular local trip to go right round Horsey Island by tender..... you stand a good chance of seeing the local seal population, and there will be loads and loads of Oystercatchers to enjoy as well......

Well, we have had fab offers of lifts, but we are contemplating our options of arriving under our own steam - literally.

The inflatable dinghy is not really big enough for us 3, plus kit. Zora - our wooden dinghy - is a bit too big to fit on roofrack (though we have a plan to remedy that). Also, our outboard is somewhat, shall I say, temperamental, so we may end up rowing. Which is all good in a suitably bedraggled adventuring pirate fashion....

Another day's contemplation will sort us out !

Got the flag ready though So the important things are set.

If Morgana would allow us to raft on him, we would be happy to run a shuttle service from and to Tichmarsh with Sirenia.
As EastCoastBernie has offered to pick up Vince from Harwich we will be in the backwaters on Friday evening.

No problem at all....

Seem to remember we did the same last year, or was it the year before!

Neil
Thanks for that.

Yes we did do it last year.
The only difference this time will be that:-
1. Sirenia is not going on the beach.
Or if she does that will be just a touch and go to drop off / pick up.
2. I am going to try my hardest to not wrap the kedge anchor warp round the prop. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
3. I am definitely not going anywhere near concrete launch ramps. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

We will bring No.32 (Our hard dinghy) round.

Titchmarsh to stone point ferry bookings taken here.
PM your mobile number and a pick-up time.

Full Circle will be towing the full sized gig up to Walton, which will hold 4 plus all the kit, as we have family coming,so I am expecting to be doing the trip.

I am not going to row a rubba dubba avec outboard sans essence against the tide again this year at 0530, like I did before. Oh no.

Just a note from myself and Mr Chellers,

We are going to be pootling over to Stone Point from Titchmarsh around three o'clock(ish) on Saturday.

We would be very happy to give any pirates a lift from the marina to Stone Point, if that helps with the plans.

It's a one-way trip as Chellers is staying at anchor that evening, although James will be whizzing me back in the tender (can't get a dog-sitter for that evening).

If anyone would like a lift out to Stone Point, send us a PM!

Helen
