Yacht and dinghies alongside Quay 1920s. Postcard from Mike Holden

My father was employed as a gardener in the Pier Hotel (now the George Hotel).  He bought a boat in Lymington and rowed it back to Yarmouth on a slack tide.
I can remember rowing my father’s boat for him.  He would ask me to take it alongside the harbour at high tide, from the hard by the boatyard – otherwise it would have been high and dry at low tide.  I also used to row my father and a customer to go fishing off Black Rock – but he wouldn’t tell me or show me the fishing ‘marks’.
