Tranquil Bay Lefkes
My rant for the week .
The first time I come here was over 15 years ago and the place lived up to it name , now the last thing Tranquil bay is it Tranquil , the place is now littered by abandon boats some already sunken and other are not that far off , the smell of the place has I arrived the other day was just disgusting , the once clear water is now a dirty brown film where some of us live aboard or should I say the summer live aboard who arrive here in early spring and other them move their boat on and off the nelson pontoon , pump there holding tanks out ,instead of moving out to open waters , there are Brits Swedes Germanys as well as many other , that every time we come here there boats are anchored in the same place , ( off course you have the right to anchor here until you flight is ready to take off again in Oct ) if you are reading this guys and I hope you are , please please help to keep this place tidy STOP dumping your tanks ,while your sitting about doing nothing help to clean up the place the field on the south side was once wild with grass and brushers now there deflated inflatable old life rings rubbish bags and god know what . in case you don't know there two great big skips on the shore waiting for you ****.
Just suggestion to the owners of the boats that been left on the banks here , instead of going home and leaving them until they find they way to the bottom , why don’t you put them on eBay or give them away to others who would love to sails this beauty part of the Med and give someone else a chance to enjoy them rather then going home and forgetting about them , it seen to me that just because you have had enough of the Med you think you have the right to abounding your boat here an easy way out for you at no cost to you but a big cost to the environment and the rest of us , a shame on you all .
