Video of Crossing Deben bar 2015

[PeterR]

Sorry for another thread on the Deben Bar but I thought the video might get lost in the general discussion of the existing thread and I know a lot of people are keen to see what the bar looks like before they try it for the first time this season. I know I was 5 days ago.

Useful footage, and as a result of viewing it on the YouTube site I found your Round Britain series - what an excellent and informative collection of videos! Well done.

I have one booked already & Frank Knights supplied the chain in 1975

 

[Otter]

Which one is that? Need to pick one with better chain than that!

 

[sailorman]

Its marked, 18 ft only

 

[Otter]

I assumed that meant beam, I've been using that one for a while but I'll move to one with newer chain.

You could use No. 9 only 6 years old.
Just been serviced. but Sirenia is attached to it now.
Very quite there, only about 20 boats in the whole area.

Hi Clive, I was yanking Sailorman's chain as he well knew

Always quiet at Ramsholt, always a free berth for the night, loving maintained by SM and others for the benefit of the cruising folk of east Angula. Not like that horrid Waldringfield where they make you pay for mooring, though rumour has it they give you a free inflatable dinghy.

 

[sailorman]

Only skinflints dont cough-up "for the cause"

 

[Otter]

True that.

Quality, not quantity, don't you think?

 

[Otter]

Hear hear.

 

[sailorman]

Hear hear.
