Martin Ashton, Commodore of Hollowshore Cruising Club writes, “The Oare Creek entrance was not dredged as planned due to a late objection from Faversham Oyster Company (that have the fishing rights in the Swale). [Because of the tidal surge] we lost the pub (the Shipwrights) and it won’t manage to re-open in time for the holiday period. The clubhouse at the top of the creek had a couple of inches to spare!”

Do you know why the Faversham Oyster Company objected, as they no longer harvest oysters, and obtain an income from moorings. See; http://www.faversham.org/history/maritime/Oyster_Fishery.aspx
