Types of places
There are lots of different places and we've needed to categorise them, this isn't a perfect science but we do need some consistency so here are the basics:
Marina
To qualify as a marina the place must have at least:
- Electricty close to mooring
- Water close to mooring
- Toilet close to mooring
- Pontoon access to facilities
- Shelter from poor weather
Harbour
A harbour may be natural or man-made but provide:
- Shelter from poor weather
Jetty/Quayside
We see many places that have a jetty or quay-side these provide:
- A physical place to tie up too.
Anchorage/Bay
Many coastlines have bays which provide good anchorages, generally these provide:
- Some degree of shelter and holding for anchor in modest conditions
