As part of our continuous maintenance programme at the marina, we have now installed new LED traffic lights for entry to and from the lock. These are considerably brighter than the previous lights which have served the lock since the marina opened. Light pollution in Harwich Harbour has increased in recent years with the expansion of Felixstowe docks so we hope these new brighter lights will help yachtsmen to safely navigate into the lock during the hours of darkness.
This year for the first time Shotley Marina in partnership with Woolverstone Marina is organizing an Autumn Cruise to Woodbridge Tide Mill Yacht Harbour. In the evening there is a dinner at the Woodbridge Cruising Club. The meal is very kindly being put on by the Cruising Club at a price of £16.00 per head.
Tom Cunliffe, one of Britains foremost cruising sailors will be on hand during the day. He will boat hop via a rib offering tips and advise to owners and then in the evening will attend the dinner to give a short after dinner talk. We hope that as many of the berth holders as possible, from both marina’s will be able to attend this cruise on the 1st and 2nd of October. Booking forms and menus choices are available from the marina offices.
We will be closing the lock for three hours on the morning of 20th June to carry out some essential maintenance to one of the sluices. The lock will close at 0800 and re open at approximately 11.00.
If you have any questions then please do not hesitate to contact the staff in the Control Tower.
