Gemini1's Web Diary - Farewell Shoreham, now on route to Haslar Marina

Farewell Shoreham, now on route to Haslar Marina

Gemini1

Sun 15 Sep 2019 11:15

Shoreham was a quaint marina, with access through lock gates, which we just made before low water with 0.5 metres under the keels. Tying up was precarious to say the least but we enjoyed a great supper at the Newport Arms pub overlooking the marina.

No wind to reach Shoreham and no wind forecast today and what there is is on the nose! Still there was plenty of time to catch mackerel, a catch of a dozen today with some thrown back as being too small.

Lock this morning - a tight squeeze

Mackerel lined up ready for gutting

Mark at the ready when we were diverted to assist a stricken motor boat

Trinity House Vessel ALERT also went to the scene and assisted prior to our arrival, so we continued on our way.
