Plan on getting down the sea-lock at \u00a0St.Mullins by 10:30 . \u00a0So boats should come down from Graignamanagh and points North a few days in advance, or face a very early start on Saturday. \u00a0Time from Graignamanagh to St.Mullins = 2hrs minimum, if you do it Saturday morning (3 locks to pass).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">See <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iwai.ie\/maps\/barrow\/maps.barrow.26.html\">http:\/\/www.iwai.ie\/maps\/barrow\/maps.barrow.20.html<\/a> , 21 &amp; 22.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Heading down from St. Mullins (thru some of the finest scenery on our waterways), boats will generally fit under Ferrymountgarrett bridge by noon \u2013 generally speaking, by the time you get there you should have the clearance.<br \/>\nTwo options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Linger above the bridge enjoying the tranquility &amp; drift down to the Nore for low tide, then slowly drift up river toward Inistioge. \u00a0Not recommended for boats who have concerns about taking the ground \u2013 moving up too early.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Head down-stream as soon as the bridge allows and drop into New Ross. \u00a0When the tide turns, start back upriver for Inistioge. \u00a0Advantages: \u00a0Allows time for a visit to Dunbrody, shops, etc. \u00a0Just make sure to start back upstream while air-draft allows you to pass under the New Ross road bridge. \u00a0Local advice is that average cruisers will have no difficulty if they start up at least 2hrs before the top of the tide (4:30pm)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Options for mooring in Inistioge:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Stay to the right of the islands on the way up \u2013 see the IWAI guide (map #26 in Barrow section of the site: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iwai.ie\/maps\/barrow\/maps.barrow.26.html\">http:\/\/www.iwai.ie\/maps\/barrow\/maps.barrow.26.html<\/a> ). \u00a0It should be safe to proceed all the way up to the coal qual, so long as you don&#8217;t pass \u201cthe red house\u201d more that 2hrs before high tide (7:30pm) \u2013 it&#8217;s about 15 minutes further on.<br \/>\nOn arrival boats that can take the ground can tie up at coal quay. \u00a0Boats that need water should stay out toward the middle of the channel, and anchor (fore &amp; aft to prevent swinging) in the stream.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Sunday, enjoy Vintage Festival, Woodstown estate, and village atmosphere. \u00a0If possible, dress boats with bunting. \u00a0\u00a0Sunday afternoon, a game of horse-shoe pitching, or maybe rope tossing will be organised.<br \/>\nDish-to-pass supper option, on the quay.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Boats departing Bank Holiday Monday need to head off by 10:00 at the latest.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Red tape &amp; safety:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">All children to wear life jackets. \u00a0All boats to have insurance \u2013 skippers are responsible for the care of their crew, (and due care and attention to all other attendees), at all times.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Membership of IWAI is required for the event. \u00a0Please have membership forms submitted (or be prepared to fill one out on the weekend).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Always ensure you have agreed with other skipper before tieing onto their boat \u2013 they are best judge of their holding gear.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We look forward to seeing you there \u2013 come by car, if not by boat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cruise-in-Company: \u00a0\u00a0Inistioge, August weekend 2015.
