launching at Wood Quarter Pier just outside Milford on the western side of the bay. Parking for those of us doing an extended cruise on private ground a couple of miles away. Parking for those who just want a night or two at the launch site. We will be moving from day to day so it is live aboard or camping ashore on Islands where we will have permission. Around 4 days exploring Broad Water and North Water then if weather permits we can make our way out of the Bay and travel further for a week or so.
