August 2009

I did very little to Sabrina during 2009, I met a new Partner and we had a damn good time instead, plus we didn't have a mooring for the boat.  However that all changed in August 2009 when a friend of hers saw a sign for a new marina that was being built just outside Audlem. Karen and I arranged to meet the owners at the site one Sunday, we stood on top of a large pile of clay in a recently dug out field, the Marina wasn't even a hole in the ground.

We both stood there and listened to total silence and we were sold, we signed up there and then, planning to have the boat ready for when the marina opened in March 2010.

We have since visited the Marina on each and every open day watching the progress, ever concious that the Sabrina is not getting worked on, but the weather has been horrendous, with Snow and rain preventing any real progress.

If you are looking for a mooring then I cannot recommend it highly enough, its Overwater Marina, the owners are a wonderful couple that make you feel welcome.

The marina is being built more like a large lake, with soft edges than your traditional box shape for parking boats.
