Maverick Martin Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Hi Reg Nearest slip to arne is.........wait for it..........baiter, in fact the only useable public slip in poole is baiter There is a small slip in hamworthy which is almost opposite Arne but there is restricted access with a 2.2 metre high barrier. If your boat will fit under the barrier its free but parking is restricted. I would say for fishing the harbour from small trailable boats then baiter would be your best bet. Arne isn't to far from here any way. BTW why Arne? Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reg Posted October 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Hi. Martin. We are looking around for somwhere to stop and also to have the boats with us. its just a matter of finding the right place. as you might know most places come with parking for two cars only. although we are gratfull to Fred it worked out an extra forty miles a day if we had managed to get off every day. We are also looking at a place between swannage and corfe castle which would be handy for launch ramp at shell bay marine which I believe you can launch threequarters of the tide. But it is the parking the boats that is the problem. but we will keep on trawling the net to see what come's up. trouble is most of the places are run through an agency so you don't get a chance to talk to the owners. and all you get from the agency is. parking for two car's only. But something will emerge if we persevere. so we can now rule Arne out. Reg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob F Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 (edited) Reg I assume you have already considered launching at Swanage itself? Or are you looking to only fish the harbour? In which case, have you looked at Redcliff for launching? BF Edited October 21, 2006 by Bob F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Reg If its just 2 boats I might be able to accomodate them (just) its a steep drive which will have to be reversed into but if I can get maverick in you should have no problem. Gotta run it by ere in doors first though I'm fairly central and only a mile or so from baiter Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reg Posted October 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Martin BF We do hope to get out of the harbour and try the open water. weather permitting. But as we launched twice at Baiter and we know our way down to the swash it might make sense to stick to what we know. Even if it means an extra gallon or two. Martin if you can persuade the Mrs I'm sure we can repay the kindness. but we will keep plugging away at this end . something will turn up in the end. but we will be down one way or another. As my other half want's to come down again. So its her who must be obeyed {this time} even though she won't step on the boat. Reg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
