It's great to have a local with expert knowledge here, thanks Terry. Looe. I saw the 'little beach' as I drifted in with the rising tide. Lots of youngsters launching their racing boats there. Thought of landing there but was sure that I'd be in the way if I left the boat and besides I'm very fond ...

Hi terry. No. We thought about it but the charted hole just downriver of it seems to have lost some of its depth. Calstock visitor moorings good to know for an emergency but I have an allergy to spending money on moorings! :) Good info re looe. We rowed in and asked a fisherman where to leave the d...

Thanks Jim! We only drifted about a bit above calstock. Didn't stop there at all. Just literally went up for a look after visiting cotehele, while waiting for the incoming tide to slow, rather than bash down against it. Did wonder about overnighting at anchor off the island off looe, where you desc...

Thanks Terry. .When I last went in there it was with the very early flood on a spring tide, which carried me up river at a good speed - almost too much speed for me to get my bearings and work out where to moor. I did consider going alongside the quay just downstream of the scrubbing platform but c...

Super photos again Jeff You did the right thing by staying outside Looe as there is hardly any room in there , besides drying out at LW. The only 'visitors' accommodation is alongside a rough stone wall at the 'scrubbing off berth. and if you occidentally chugged past it you'd find things very conf...

I did see it yes! We also turned on the radar he other day to watch the radar proof thing come in. It is not very radar proof. Btw what does sd stand for in the boat names like "sd faith" which operate like tugs for the big navy boats? Think you need to be about 50miles away the appreciat...
