St Martins or Bryher

Any view on which is best, both look to have similar facilities?

Looks like Bryher is the way to go for a nice sheltered site St Agnes seems a bit more exposed but I like the look of the pub , spoke to Tresco Estate today and getting a mooring was easy too.

If anyone wants to read a really good article by someone "in the know" Toby Budd wrote one a few issues ago in RI and its well worth getting a copy if your planning a visit.

Or you can contact sticky tours who will recomend st Agnes

or rock up and meet the locals who are great and will help if they can but you may need a more than 150 L of Go go juice

but I know you have a problem with any number bigger than 150

Not really, I just can't afford to fit a 200 with prices the way that they are

When you come down this way be welcome.

Much more tidal current off St Martins than Bryher but nothing any rib that can make the crossing can't handle.
