I'm looking at spending a month or three on the river Orwell.
I want to sell my little Jaguar 24 over the summer but want to sail it in a new area until she sells.
I have been on a mooring at Priors on the Crouch that was recommended to me by a fellow formite and it's been absolutely fine but as I only get chance to string a couple of days together and have a 400 mile round trip to the boat I haven't explored anywhere near enough of the surrounding area.
I'm thinking the Orwell will be much better placed for me to visit more places and I can get a train to Ipswich.
I like the "pay as you go" set up of Priors and as I wouldn't be able to give a club any commitment I was resigned to stumping up the monthly fee at a marina which led me to SYH.
However I've realised Woolverston offer a monthly mooring fee and I'll ask SYH if they might be able to offer the same.
Any pro's v con's of the two? Bear in mind i'll be arriving after a three hour trip after work so convenience is important. Dinghy storage/access/facilities too.
I've never been to this area before so any tip's would be gratefully received.
