Hi From Portland
Hi all,
I live in Castletown, Portland opposite the slipway and finally got round to getting a boat!
Picked up an apex 4.5m with a 30HP Suzuki engine, maiden voyage next week :-)
Cheers
Phil
p.s. If anyone needs a weather report from Portland let me know and I'll look out of the window ;-)

Hi, I thought that that part of the island was Fortuneswell?

Hi Mollers, Fortuneswell is what you drive through to go up the hill, Castletown is the bit between the Castle and the Port :-)

Nope - that's the first batch of houses / shops found as you drive up the hill.
Castletown is the area from Osprey down to the port.

I saw you Trevor, wondered where you were all heading off to :-) How long does it take you to get to Lulworth?
I won't have the boat ready for another week or so, but that trip is definitely on the list once I've got the hang of it. Safety in numbers definitely sounds like a good option!
cheers
Phil
