Poole 2016: 27/28 to 30 MAY BANK HOLIDAY

Previous Run Click on link: http://rnsaportlandcruising.weebly.com/gallery-poole.html
How the programme has run before: People would travel on the Friday or the Saturday to Poole. Some would anchor off Goat Horn, Others would proceed straight to the Marina which used to be Poole Yacht Club but like the other Clubs they are heavily involved in the Regatta this year  so can not take us.
Sunday would be the main day with a sponsored lunch and the an evening BBQ. We also had a meet on Steve and Kathy Lacey's boat Wild Rival for drinks and snacks. This arrangement also allowed for a family and friend meet up on Sunday
.
Alternative venues are being looked at and the two leaders at present are Cobbs Quay and Studland Bay.
Portsmouth prefer a Marina base for the ease of coming ashore.
I like Studland. I have also put in an enquiry to Parkstone Yacht club but they are involved in the Regatta.
If we have to decide and as this is the first time we have Portsmouth on board I would recommend we go with the Portsmouth view.

Review of Studland. Situated on the West side of Poole Bay. Most of time sheltered. Food accessible. No marine facilities except free anchorage. All the photos shown can be easily seen in a day. Pub(Bankes) takes Tab on card. No cash machine but small shop in Studland. Chain Ferry access from the East. Cash only.
