The tranquillity of this place known as the fleet is great, a safe shallow place to spend with the kids, digging for worms for fishing or generally paddling about when the tide is like this, half in or out.

I believe this is where the famous “bouncing bomb” was tested. I can’t imaging massive Lancaster bombers flying over here. What a noise that would be!

This can be seen from above in one of the many Portland pictures elsewhere on this blog.
