I've never been thereAre there usually vacant moorings to grab? (Don't start on about anchoring please)
I never find a mooring to pick up for the night either so I doubt I will go there when I try and have a few days on the boat in a couple of weeks time

More proof (if more proof was required) of Guapa's First Axiom: boats are best kept afloat in sufficient water at all times.
Hope no lasting (expensive) damage was sustained.

No damage at all.
Unlike earlier that day when I whacked a submarine in Paglesham Reach, which took a chunk out of one of the Kiwiprop blades. £50 for a new blade. Harumph.
I have left it for now, will sort that at the end of the season, after Father Christmas has brought me a propeller blade shaped present.

I've never been there
I am a frequent visitor to Wrabness. It is my destination of choice when the wind/tide/time available make it difficult to go further afield. Lovely spot. Never had a problem finding a vacant mooring.

Not thinking of going there
Hey ho, it's something of a habit of mine. Saying things I shouldn't say when I would be better off keeping my trap shut. Too old to change now, so live with it.
On the other hand, perhaps indicating I am a frequent visitor to the area, will have the desired effect of deterring others to follow suit.

I too often overnight at Wrabness. I constantly think it might be a normal word rather than a place name - "I was overcome by a strong sense of wrabness". But what would it mean?

Well if you are too often there, perhaps you ought to cut down a bit?

I have heard it called Drabness. Not a lot happens there.

The last time I visited was in January, and we were planting a friend in the green cemetary near the beach. So "Wrabness" does have melancholy overtones for me.

I was wrabbed
You know how it is when you really fancy a pint but there's only wine on board, so pick up a mooring, row ashore, drag the dinghy up the beach, and walk half a mile uphill to the pub - to find it closed years ago and it's now a private house ?
That's wrabness.

I thought there was a pub near the railway station or is my memory playing tricks on me?
