Q. Where can I dispose of small quantities of waste oil and diesel?
A. There is a waste oil tank at the foot of the jetty just before the gate. You'll need to prop the hatch open on top and pour in from there. If you have more than a few gallons, please speak to the office first.
Q. Can I come alongside the dinghy pontoon to fill up my water tanks?
A. Yes. Owners are permitted to come alongside an hour or two either side of high water, depending on draft and predicted tide. If you are filling up water tanks, we advise you to run the water for at least a few minutes to flush through any stale water.
