Tight spot

  • Mooring

We have been quiet for a while, due to an admin problem which has, fortunately, now been sorted.

A couple of weeks ago, we were in Bristol Harbour and upon returning to the mooring we had been using, outside the Arnolfini, we discovered it had been occupied by several large cruisers. So, we had to go looking for another place to moor.

There is a small bay in the harbour called “Brunel Quay” and we spotted a gap between a cruiser and a sailing yacht. “Just right for us” we thought and in we went – much to the trepidation of the other boat crews. However, we slipped into the space without touching either of the boats and fitted perfectly, with no room to spare. Do we know our boat or what?
