Where is this?

[tonybarebones]

Where in the Bristol Channel is this?

 

[sarabande]

is it fresh water ?

 

[carise]

Looks a bit Watchety to me, but then again------ surely not Padstow ?

 

[Csail]

YEAH, watchet.

 

[graham]

Not Watchet the top of the gate is too close to the top of the wall.

Watchet gate closed at Low water

A complete guess as I have never sailed there but is it Burry Port?

 

[tonybarebones]

Well I never did... !!! I don't believe that I've got you on this one Guys, especially Graham who is an old campaigner and I can definatly confirm it's in the good ol B.C. as defined by anywhere in the Lundy sea area... Ha Ha Tony

 

[Coaster]

Pembroke?

 

[Csail]

Cardiff Bar fish run?

 

[chrishelen]

Tony,

Have you been up the river to Pembroke? I fancy doing it in Ishtar. She draws 1.4m. What do I need to do, tidewise to get up there for a night, what is teh mooring situation etc?

Cheers.

Apologies if this is too easy for you all.

Photo taken last Sunday at about 0700 whilst paddling gently in the dinghy.

By 0800 the mist had burnt off and we had breakfast in the cockpit, enjoying brilliant sunshine.

 

[Alcyone]

Lawrenny?

 

[Coaster]

Lawrenny?

Correct.

I'm surprised. I didn't really think it was that easy.

Do tell how you knew.

 

[Alcyone]

Our boat is moored just up river at Llangwm. Been past Lawrenny many times in the past few weeks. We did go in to get fuel once, but the fuel pontoon was very shallow, and I couldn't work out how to tie up onto those ropes hanging down. Running like a train as well!.

I'm going to find a picture of a single bolt now, just to get Barebones back.........

Tony what doesnt rhyme with Swat but is spelt very simillarily????

 

[Alcyone]

Here you are then.

Off down West in a bit - Going to launch my Rib. Had her for 2 years, but she's never been in the water. Been sailing on the odd occasion......

Decided to call her Quo Vadis.

Monk Haven from the shoreside

 

[Wunja]

Ah, used to dive there, until we discovered the sewage outlet in the middle of the cove. Shame as the water was nice and clear though the concern is not the dirt you can see, but the stuff you can't.
Always got an interesting visual effect where the fresh water from the stream met the salt water.
