groova Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Just now, Smoggy said: It can on big springs but most of the time it's ok, I've been aground there but only the once, I need about the same as you, it's my normal jump off point for an early yarmouth exit. Brilliant, thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 One of our owners did moor there a few years ago, yes there is a danger of mooring on one side of the marina. His complaint was the charges for mooring, £18 was the cost of the welcome pack, he thought this would contain a bottle of wine, sadly just leaflets and he also had to buy electric cards. You would be better off mooring outside the Fisherman's or on the 24 hour moorings. Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 It was the BA moorings I was meaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Lowestoft every time for me. JW is right - Lowestoft much more geared up for pleasure vessels, and no bar to get over on the way out. Overnight at the yacht station, hearty breakfast at the Wherry, then out. Failing that, RNSYC overnight and you are really on the doorstep of going out quickly and easily. Also shops for final topping up of the biscuit barrel and milk. Diesel too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groova Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Thanks to everyone who provided thoughts and experience on this topic. We arrived at the Oulton Broad yachstation yesterday and passed through Mutford lock this afternoon en route to RNSYC where we are now. Looks like we’ll be here tomorrow as well as the mist is forecast to remain. Thanks Jon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitrunner Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Good luck Jon. We were in Wells today and it was pretty poor visibility up there as well. Sensible decision to wait for a clear passage and hopefully a bit of sun to warm things up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
