I can`t find the letter but Parks sent me one in the last month saying there limiting the max size mooring, I would give them a ring ASAP. WTE grid did have some spare thats the last row closest to the shipping channel when I was out there.

Do you know what the new max size is? I spoke to them a few months back and it was 15m.

The parks web site says 15 m.
My parks phone call.. He mentioned 15 m but I didn't take much notice as that's bigger than I will want.

No I chucked the letter like Rob I was not interested as I have a mooring now. my mooring took 3 years 11 months then it was to shallow due to the dredging parks had it at 1.5m at low tide came in at 1.1m so have to move me out to the outer field, till I got my current one total time 4.6 years.

Marks a good guy and very helpful also Holdfast Marine these guys were quick in moving my boat when it happened. and if you use SirJmans link I can now see my boat live thanks mate

Mark mentioned a steerable web cam. I am keen to get onto it but SirJmans link seems to be the information pdf file which I already have.
Or is there a link in there I can't see?

I need to belt the webcam around with a stick, my boats just out of view to the right of frame.

Yep thats it. Best link out, my boats full left tilt up half full zoom, the red shipping container crane is in line she has a white boom bag and blue wind breaks.

Rob if you tell them you dont mind the outer mooring field you may get it quicker.

I think that black pirate looking wooden boat to the right of yours is owned by a seashepherd crew member, he was telling how it recently sunk from an internal bilge pipe breaking. Luckily the depth was so that it sat on the bottom and top was still out of the water, pumped it out and had it on the hard at hobbos for a while. Only just returned to the water two weeks ago. Pretty cool boat, but it's completely gutted and needs a lot of love.
