Before Bryn arrived we needed to fill the water tank and empty the waste tank. The nearby Shireoaks Marina has the facilities we need, so we drove in. The water was simple, but the waste tank was very fiddly. The probe at the end of the hose has to be inserted into the starboard gunwale near the bow. We tried reversing in, but couldn’t go far enough back without grounding on the nearby slipway. We tried approaching end on, but still couldn’t get near enough to insert the probe. Eventually we came in forwards and lifted the hose right over the boat – it only just reached.
