We have over 70 members now, not all need moorings in the harbour, in fact 37 moorings have been allocated to date. The boats will be back in the water on the 9th and 10th April “Where they look best”. However you may have noticed Good Fortune has been in for some weeks earning a living.

We have plans to bring you articles of interest in the future, so look out for HARBOUR NEWS next time.

STOP PRESS...... Good News. Kerrier D Council have organised sand removal from the harbour. This is planned to be carried out by week ending 8th April. The purpose to reduce seaweed build up and the associated smell in this part of the village, and help navigation within the harbour.
