Cruise-in-Company: \u00a0\u00a0Inistioge, August weekend 2015.<\/p>\n

Here are some notes for boats that may wish to join our cruise-in-company August Bank Holiday weekend. \u00a0Some boats may come earlier and spend a week, but here are recommendations for those going up and back in a single weekend. \u00a0Best option would be to start holidays a week earlier, and head down to New Ross for Thursday\/Friday before the trip to Inistioge. \u00a0Then head upstream, starting 3pm Saturday.<\/p>\n

Saturday, Aug 1st. \u00a0High Tide at St, Mullins lock is ~9:00 am. \u00a0Boats with 3ft draft can clear lock approximately 2hrs either side of high tide, so it’s better to get going early. 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

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.
