Amble

We arrived and launched at Amble yesterday and now Meg is tied up in the marina and hopefully the week will bring some decent sailing. The slipway is next to the yacht club and slopes very gently so needs to be used around high water. It's fairly well surfaced but has a grassy rounabout at the top of the slipway. Clearly the idea is to turn at the roundabout and reverse down the the water. Unfortunately its too small to turn a car and trailer so a bit of manhandling is required. This is no great challenge with a Bayraider but a heavier boat might be more difficult. I've not used a marina mooring before and with easy parking and all the facilities at hand its certainly more civilsed than a drying mooring and having to use a tender to get aboard.
