This is the ariel view of where Redsnapper is berthed........Mayflower Marina in Plymouth. We are out on the pontoons as you look directly down. Its a fab place to be, out of the main thrust of marina life, and opposite the public slipway so we see many a Jeremy Beadle moment much to our amusement! We see and feel the warships and subs as they make their passage out to sea or returning from their missions, some after many months at sea.
We have been here for four years now and love it, it has everything we need, takes only 40 mins to get there on a good day, has a fab restaurant if we need it in Jolly Jacks but most importantly we can get out in all weather.
If we dont fancy a weekend away we can spend hrs swailing around Plymouth Sound, drop the pick for some lunch and then off again.
The sound is also a great staging post for round the world races and the Marina this yr hosted the support boats for the America's Cup, what a fab few weekends that was. There is always something going on, which is swooper.
As much as I loved the River Exe, we were so tide bound by the bar and weather, for one season our bot was almost redundant. Now every friday night straight after work, from when she is launched we are down there bar weddings and funerals, it cant get better than that.
