Waiting for the tide - Oyster Quay

Dolphin Quay is a good place to dry out, in fact that's the normal state of things, the tide only floating the boats at the top of high water.


It's a long way from open water, but home to some good sized boats.


The access channel goes past some waterside homes complete with their own moorings.


The owners of the immediate shore side buildings which used to house Dolphon Quay boatyard have applied for planning permission to develop the land into houses and flats, although I'm not very up to date the harbour authority were fighting to keep the moorings last time I looked.
