Hello , Southwold is nearest i can leave boat and launch at the right price .£40. 41 a month including water to wash down,Harbour marines 4+4 to launch and retrive ,free slipway, flood lit compound. Lowestoft. cheapest i found £80 odd a month,Yarmouth .only slip next to lifeboat station very narrow and slippery. hope this explains. unless you know of better if you do please tell me. Ivan

hi ivan, i went a month ago in Southwold and spoke to the same person, seems a realy good deal solves a lot of my problems! much cheaper than towing, just hope he has some spaces left when i get my boat !
didnt seem a lot of room around the back ,he just started clearing away all the old rubbish it might look bigger now,have to go down there again for alook.
cheers ivan for reply take care Brian

Hello Brian. all the whiting put back , no one at home eats them . there where 2 of us fishing 2 rods each. had to stop fishing to drink our tea and eat grub it was crazy. going tomorrow will let you know how we get on , going to steam down past the power station try there. IVAN
