UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2022
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 29th Sep 2022
I reviewed these notes at the end of September 2022. They are still in the development stage here with a lot promised. meanwhile there is less than the advertised 1.5 metres depth in places and the amenities are in temporary accommodation.
UPDATE SUMMER 2021
Written by Don Thomson 3 | 22nd Sep 2021
I reviewed these notes in September 2021. They are still involved with dredging the marina before they refurbish and add pontoons. The building work ashore is about to be started. So, as we write, there is a lot going on but not much in the way of change yet.
UPDATE SPRING 2018
Written by Don Thomson | 23rd Apr 2018
There is a lot happening here. The Marina has just been taken over by The Marine Group which has big plans for the place. The flap gate is expected to be functioning early in the summer whilst the marina and close approach will be dredged idc The RNLI Boathouse will be come the harbour office and amenities block whilst the RNLI will be rehoused.

Oct 2017 - Cill has been removed
Written by julianc | 11th Oct 2017
As of October 2017 the western half of the cill has been dismantled and is sitting on the harbour wall.

At low water the harbour now dries to hard sand.

We couldn't establish if this is winter maintenance or if the harbour is now out of action.

There are a few dozen boats on the pontoons. They have all taken the ground apparently without problem

Ed note. The equipment sitting on the harbour wall is the elements of the storm gate and nothing to do with the cill.
