Knott End Ferry Terminal

Day in day out, low tide, high tide, and even very rough seas, this little ferry makes the crossing hourly and weekdays and weekends, I see this little ferry craft zig zag its way across the bay, at low tide, I sit amazed at the course the Helmsman/Captain takes to avoid the sandbanks, mid stream the craft shuddered and came to a stop.............for 3 hours.

 

 

This day all crossings took place without mishap, with 15 feet to go it seemed the little boat would not make it, but slowly with sand churning and flying in all direction the little Ferry finally made it to the quay, passenger had to leave opposite the large lamp post at the end, just above the water-line, but not before a deck hand had hose-piped both the slipway and the boat
