Hi All,
After 13 years on the Blackwater we are are moving to the Orwell on a swinging mooring with a mile ride from the club pontoon to the mooring.
We have a small inflatable with a 2.5 hp Mercury two stroke. We have only ever had really short dinghy rides when visiting places, as we have always used water taxis to our previous home moorings at Mersea and Brightlingsea.
Not quite retirement age and reasonably fit (but no Gym goer!!), part of me is thinking this is going to be a bit of a culture shock!!
When sailing we do tend to go for a few days at a time, and on the plus side there are a lot of marinas nearby with all tide access where I can pick the Mrs up!
What are your experiences?
Thanks
