A drying harbour so we sit along side the pontoons with shore access, then pontoons and boats all sit down on the mud together when the tide goes out. Access is 2.5 hrs before and 2 hrs after high water. Aim for about 200 metres south of Ryde Pier Head and you should see the channel markers leading you in.

HW Times BST

Friday 16th 13.14 hrs

Saturday 17th 14.00 hrs

Sunday 18th 14.50 hrs

Bring your own BBQ on the beech on Friday evening, weather permitting.

Hit the shops or beech on Saturday. Drinks and nibbles on the pontoon at about 17.00 hrs on Saturday, then out for a meal Saturday evening. Venue to be determined.

We will be holding the Sand Castle competition on Saturday afternoon, weather permitting.

Ryde has bus and train terminals adjacent the harbour, so you can reach most places on the island, should you wish to explore further.

Please let me know at least one week in advance if you are coming, so that I can arrange numbers for meal.

We are also thinking of having a BBQ breakfast on the harbour wall on Sunday morning, weather permitting, so bring your bacon and eggs!

So far we have only four boats coming, so I have not booked anywhere for the meal on Saturday night. We will have plenty of places to choose from for that number.

Total of 15 people so far, so we are now booked in at the Simeon Arms pub about 5 minutes walk away. It is more of a local pub with good ale and good food.
