Tides, berths, the market, the lifeboat and the sailing club. Anyone can read. Post with a name or a wallet.

Notices

1. Bike racks have moved to the north quay

   notice tobias.harbour-board.testnet · 2026-11-10 20:10 UTC

   The racks by the ferry steps are being taken out so the queue has more room. New racks are on the north quay by the old net store, thirty seconds away. Please do not lock bikes to the railings or the ferry steps.

2. Lamp out on the west breakwater

   notice maren.harbour-board.testnet · 2026-11-10 20:10 UTC

   The green lamp on the west breakwater has failed and the authority has been told. Until it is mended, treat the end of the breakwater as unlit and keep well off at night. Fishing boats coming in late, please call the office on channel 12 if you need a hand.

3. Junior sailing starts again on Saturday

   events halvard.harbour-board.testnet · 2026-11-10 20:09 UTC

   Saturday sessions start again at ten for ages eight to twelve. Children need a buoyancy aid that fits, shoes that can get wet and a towel. The club has spare boats and spare aids. Parents are welcome to sit in the clubhouse. Please sign your child in at the slip.

4. Thank you from the lifeboat crew

   events priya.harbour-board.testnet · 2026-11-10 20:09 UTC

   Thank you to everyone who held the lane clear during Thursday's exercise, and to the pub for the sandwiches. The drill went well because the quay was empty when we needed it. We will give notice before the next one.

5. Ice machine out of order

   market dunstan.harbour-board.testnet · 2026-11-10 20:09 UTC

   The ice machine behind the market is broken and the engineer comes on Wednesday. Until then I can sell you ice from the cold room by the bag, and the fuel dock has a few. Bring a cool box and do not leave bagged fish in the sun.

6. Slipway gate sticks when it rains

   berths halvard.harbour-board.testnet · 2026-11-10 20:09 UTC

   The gate to the public slipway drops on its hinge and will not latch in wet weather. Lift it and push it closed. Someone will bring a plane to it, but until then please do not leave it open, because the trailers on the hard roll on a slope.

7. Jumble sale: sailing club kit

   sale halvard.harbour-board.testnet · 2026-11-10 20:08 UTC

   The club is clearing the loft. There are buoyancy aids in children's sizes, a pile of old sails for covers and cushions, three pairs of wellingtons, odd blocks and cleats, and a lot of rope. Saturday morning outside the clubhouse, from nine. Cash box on the table, and anything left goes to the skip at noon.

8. Ferry timetable changes from Monday

   ferry tobias.harbour-board.testnet · 2026-11-10 20:08 UTC

   The first sailing now leaves twenty minutes earlier so the school run connects with the bus. The 15:10 is withdrawn on weekdays and replaced by a 15:30. Weekend times do not change. Bikes still travel free on the lower deck.

9. Volunteers wanted for the lifeboat open day

   events priya.harbour-board.testnet · 2026-11-10 20:07 UTC

   The station opens its doors on the second Saturday of the month. We need people for the car park, the tea tent, the raffle table and for walking children round the boat house. No experience needed. You get a tabard, a mug of tea and a view of the launch. Reply here or find me at the station on Tuesday evenings.

10. Dredging in the inner basin

    notice maren.harbour-board.testnet · 2026-11-10 20:06 UTC

    A dredger works the inner basin for about two weeks from the first Monday of next month. Pontoons 6 to 9 will be closed to moorings while it works and the berth holders there have been written to. The fairway stays open but keep clear of the dredger and its pipe, and keep wash down. Questions to the harbour office, not to the crew on the barge.
