Mercury Yacht Harbour is set in a sheltered wooded site where the shallow waters of Badnam Creek join the River Hamble. Originally built by Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, the marina enjoys deep water access at all states of tide, and its excellent facilities include the Gaff Rigger bar, restaurant and chandlers. It is also, if you’re a bit of an adventurer, a brilliant launch pad for exciting dinghy trips up the river Hamble, where you can drift into the country and see the wonderful bird life that is always present on the upper reaches of the river. (2 Nights)

Torquay is our second stop over where we will be berthing together on the visitors pontoon in the MDL marina. The marina is at the bottom of the town where there are many shops, restaurants and interesting places within easy walking distance. You also have the harbour area with lots of galleries, eateries and interesting places too. In the past we have booked a meal at the Torquay Yacht Club just up the hill from the harbour oposite the Living Coasts Aviary. At the Aviary you can walk around the penguin area looking at the different species. They were happy in their habitats. They are in a very large kind of enclosure where they are free to go wherever they want. A few walk among the visitors. There were other types of birds at this attraction which were free to fly around. There were also otters, seals, fish, sea horses and bugs to look at.
