Boating News - Our Haddiscoe West demasting mooring is now re-open to the public after the timber quay heading has been replaced. The path and quay heading have also been raised by approx. 100 mm which will mean that they will be less affected by the tides.

Below is an eye-level view from one of our mud wherries that are dredging Oulton Dyke.

We have had many people swimming in the middle of the channel here, which is dangerous as you are not visible to our staff.

Please swim to the right and always wear visible clothing.
