Ahoy there Mr BP nice video of your trip up river to the Rocks n back again , thanks enjoyed it .
Might I ask ? think you launched at Ferry Boatyard slip ; is that a FREE to launch slipway by any chance ? when I was up there earlier this year I could not get a straight clear answer from the Yard fellas !
So if you would be so good , free or payable please ?
Thanks CP
Ahoy again Mr BP many thaks for the slip info ; yes the Ferry Boatyard offers parking car n trailer I guess; fair bit of room in the Yard .
Supprising just how few other boats /craft showed any sign of activity or occupancy in the Video
That is very interesting to learn that bit of History. What I particularly love about the boat yard is it’s old style ’messy’ charm and feel of a real place. I go to many marinas and the new tidy ones are sometimes a little soullessAhoy there Mr BP , might mention that a family member owned the Ferry Boatyard during the WW2 years producing boats for the Admirality , we used to play around the Boat Park area , it was fun when the extra High Tide came up over the Boat Park causing Flooding ; likewise the area now a Car Park next to some Housing and the Cafe used to flood , great fun as a kid;
There also used to be more peoples living in the ex Admiralty Boat Hulls lying on the local Saltings and along the Sea Wall , we lost a some friends during the 1953 floods , unfortunately ; so visits to the Ferry are a mix of emotions for us .
Really lovely video. Thanks.
