I have been asked by the harbour master of douglas to point out the following relivant points to ensure you enjoy your outings .

1) Wilst traveling to the harbour under no circumstances is any body to attempt to cross the bridge once the lights are activated and the barriers start to come down as this may cause a serious accident .

2) It is no use whatsoever phoning the harbour master to see if he can hold the flap gate down as we all know this is beyond his control .

3) The harbour master did state however that the two points above could be avoided at all times if people bothered to read the tide time tables correctly .

If any one wants further information on this the please feel free to contact Lee Graham or Micheal Emery .

Yours ( a concerned admin )

To be fare the flap gate did come up well before it should of done But it would leak you of at 6.30 am would,nt it gary

Yes I was a little annoyed,( cut pub short as had to get up early and drive) and it was me who phoned harbour control as VHF wouldnt switch on for some apparent reason. It eventually came on after switching on and off about 20 times. It's looking like VHF may be getting lost at sea pretty soon or thrown at someone .

buriel at sea with the anchor is it Gazza
