THE HAUNTED LIGHTHOUSE
At the turn of the century, in the early 1900’s a female innkeeper at Lighthouse Bay tended and cared for the lighthouse. Down the cobblestone walkway at Port’s Landing, she is sighted frequenting the shoreline carrying a lit candle through the dense fog, signaling seamen at storm watch for safe docking at the harbor inlet. Sometimes she is found glowing in misty blue light in the shipwrecked Captain’s Cabin, seated at the dinner table as a guest of honor. Other times she is sighted onboard a pirate’s Ghost Ship while navigating at sea.
According to legend, the lighthouse itself sometimes casts an eerie green frequency of otherworldly presence, although, in actuality, a clear beam of white light is the true color that illuminates this mysterious area.

About Boat Winter Care: All You Need To Know
Apart from those who have a job that
has to do with water, or those who are committed winter sailors, if
you have a boat, there’s a high likelihood that you’re somehow
looking for a way to take care of it during winter. We’ve put
together a useful checklist to assist you in preparing for winter and
ensuring that you have less of the hassle that comes with starting a
new boating season.
Regardless if you’re keeping your boat ashore or on a berth, we hope this list will
be of great assistance. Besides, it might seem and feel like an
overwhelming task to prepare your boat for this winter.
- Choose the location you’ll store
your boat. Regardless if you’re looking to keep your boat
ashore or on a berth, Milford Marina has a variety of options for
winter berthing and boatyard storage, depending on your needs.
- Ensure that you update your
insurance as needed. You should also read and understand the
terms and conditions that apply to your policy with regard to winter
storage. It’s also prudent to double-check all the things that your
policy does (and doesn’t) cover, wherever you decide to store your
boat during winter.
- Prepare your engine for winter by
taking the necessary step of servicing the engine, stern gear (or
leg) and gearbox, and replacing your impeller. It’s also
prudent to take a small inspection of all the other mechanical
systems, including the steering and any trim systems when winter
nears so that you can keep off from any potential problems when
summer comes. For those who need any assistance or guidance, you can
contact the Marina Team who can connect you with our on-site marine
service businesses.
- Check if there’s any boatyard
available and if there is, book your space. Booking a space early
is very important since boatyards tend to get really busy during
winter. Usually, there’s an added 10-weeks free boatyard storage
for 12-month contract holders. However, you can also get
boatyard-only contracts at £2.65 per meter, every week.
- Prepare for hard storage.
Ensure to check the condition of the legs, cradle, or trailer that
you’ll keep your boat on. If you’re using a trailer, make sure
that you test the brakes, safely inflate the tires and ensure that
they’re in good condition. Make sure that you notify the Marina
Team if you decide to use Milford Marina Boatyard keep your boat and require to hire
chocks or cradles.
- If need be, schedule a boat lift
to transport your boat to the Boatyard. You should also notify
the Marina Team in case you’re looking to tow your boat out of the
water onto the slipway all by yourself since boat lifts in this area
tend to be tricky during the busy winter.
- Maintain the
security of your boat. If it’s on a berth, consider secure
lines, and fenders, make sure the cradle is in good condition and if
not look for a yacht cradle for sale and ensure your mooring lines have
rubber snubbers to lower the effects of winter weather. For those who
are keeping their boat ashore, ensure that it’s safely chocked and
that any lines, halyards, and covers are securely stowed.
- Make sure that you clean your
boat. When lifting out your boat, you’ll need to wash it down,
especially if it has been in the water for a considerably long time.
If it’s already winter and you’re lifting out your boat, ensure
to get rid of any weed and barnacles from your hull before you keep
it. For those who are storing their boat(s) this winter at Milford
Marina, you could book and hold a lift any time such that you can
wash it at the top of the slipway and still inspect it for any
problems. Don’t forget to empty and clean the fridge inside your
boat to prevent mildew growth.

Can you sail without license?
Have you already had your first contact with sailing? Or maybe you spent your last vacation on a yacht as a crew member and you feel that this is a good idea for your next summer adventure? Often, the first contact with a sailboat is accidental, so you don't even think about passion. However, subsequent meetings are becoming more and more involved in helping the helmsman and willingness to learn. In the end, you find yourself at the marina, where you can rent a small yacht and sail on the lake or on the sea. So you ask yourself if you can actually do it? After all, you didn't take the course and you don't have any sailing permits.
To be able to manage a yacht you need to have the appropriate permissions. These are sailing patents that determine in which waters and which boat we can navigate. It is definitely worth thinking about gaining entitlements when you want to spend more time on a yacht, manage larger units or take part in larger expeditions, where active participation is required, not only as a passenger. If you want to learn sailing with the best school, visit https://sailingvirgins.com/. Sailing Virgins does not only offer the basic sailing, they also have an active alum network that provides value long after your course has finished.
Imagine a vacation spent on a yacht, sleeping, eating and resting on or under the deck, going ashore only for supplies and visiting the next port to which the marked trail led you.
Although there are cases that you can sail without the license, the knowledge and experience is very useful. You can also sail as a crewman and polish up your skills, test yourself and decide if it's definitely for you. Remember that you are not limited by age or experience to be able to do this beautiful sport.
So if you have time, you can sign up for a beginner sailing course which takes place during a relaxed trip where no prior sailing experience is required. You will gain the necessary knowledge and skills in one week of live-aboard sailing.
If you are keen on some full-on adventure with sailing try Sailing Virgins, the best school in the Caribbean and possibly in the world.
