Sounds like a great idea will try to make it.
My boat has a 1.5 meter wing keel so would need some water.

Allow 1hour from Portishead if sailing to arrive around H.W.
Goodwill and co-operation from all visitors will be required for mooring up.

Hello Gents - well sounds like the Pill is filling up; as you see we are fully drying - but have a good depth of soft boulder clay that's deeper towards the entrance but still with plenty near the pontoon.
We've had plenty of fin keelers here before and a number of members moor them very happily in the pill -there's enough mud for them simply to sink in !
Here is a link to our website - where you've got pilotage info and a video /photos of the pill so you can see it with and without water
web site here
pilotage (with all the usual at you own risk disclaimers etc) pilotage
See you then and here's a beer to be getting on with

No problem with rafting, sadly since last post life has got in the way, so unlikely to make it now. Hope to visit sometime in the season though. Sounds like just our sort of place.

If you knew him you would know he is keen to encourage visitors, so I am sure he would buy the odd pint!

Can you keep it in the fridge until we do get there?

So .... drinks storage on land (under cover), our fees for lift in and out - of the fridge and with H&S in mind I feel that we should have a new drinks cradle made specifically for your pint to allow safe in the fridge storage. This is going to cost the club even more
Hope the Commodore is feeling generous with a contrabution to club funds for this expenditure
Tell you what - as Treasuerer have a virtual pint on CDYC
