Clearance

Well, it's been noted in the local news that boat owners have been given 7 days to remove their vessels from the beach at Eastney. 

Row erupts after boat owners along shore at Eastney given seven days to move vessels the council claims are 'abandoned' or 'wrecked' | The News (portsmouth.co.uk)

So at the moment Jim's boats are at risk, although I did let the Harbour Master know we're attempting to move them as soon as we can.

I've talked to Jim's family about what's necessary to make a new mooring and get the boats moved. Hopefully we can work together to get Jim's boats moved.

There are rumours that the harbourmaster wants to install jetties, but I think that's more to do with Eastney Cruising Association wanting to expand the mooring jetties they've already installed. 

The usual story of gentrification pushing out the poor.
