YES, you guessed it. No website for yachties would
be complete without a Good Pub Guide. In fact, how many sailors,
if they were really honest with themselves, would admit that the
whole object of yachting was to navigate from one pub to another?
I spent several years sailing engineless old gaffers
on the Norfolk Broads where a day trip would mean checking the
wind direction then deciding which pub would be easiest to get to
for a pint and a big lunch.
I know plenty of East Coast sailors
who do just the same, except that they sail all day with the aim
of pitching up on a swinging mooring outside a pub or getting into
a marina close to a good inn, restaurant or curry house.
A crew
of keen researchers has been sailing forth to bring you the latest
news from some of the best ale houses on the East Coast. We will
also be keeping tabs on yacht club bars, marina bar/restaurants
and some pleasant rural pubs, a few miles inland, that might be ideal for the yachties
who enjoy a long countryside ramble after hours/days/weeks at sea.
Feel free
to contact us with your own pub and club recommendations.
Pubs and yacht clubs visted in the past few weeks by our sailing
researchers include:
- The Mill and The Cross Keys, both in Aldeburgh
- Butt and Oyster, Pin Mill
- New Bell Inn, Harwich
- Green Man, Bradwell
- Haven Ports Yacht Club, Levington
