The Berry

Just to the left of the boat park slipway (as you look out to sea) is a small set of rocks called locally as the 'Berry'.

For many years this had a pole on it to mark this small and troublesome set of rocks, however in recent years that pole has gone.

For many a visitor to the town launching their boat from the slip, tide and wind waits for no one and on a Saturday afternoon sat at the angling club you watch the odd boat drift or be steered by accident on to the rocks despite all the vocal comments of those on the shore.

At today's beach users meeting, there were discussions about putting the pole back however who was responsible? Who put the pole there is 1st place? Who put the traffic cone on it a few years back? Well hopefully an answer will be found soon and if deemed necessary to warn a small craft about to land then hopefully it will be replaced.
