Dist:0.4km<br/>I'm guessing that this floating "filling station" could boast of the cheapest prices in Poole Harbour. Moored just off the Brownsea Island lagoon, on "Brownsea Road", it is interesting to see the "price per litre from" quoted for the following years (see linked images): 2003 - 29.0 2007 - 59.9 2010 - 90.5 [[447971]] [[395148]] Detail: [[2139808]]

Dist:0.4km<br/>A floating petrol station! According to the Poole Harbour Commissioners website http://www.phc.co.u- "The fuel barge is moored between the Middle Ship and Wych Channels in the vicinity of Aunt Betty Buoy. The depth at MLWS is 2.5 metres. VHF Listening Watch Channel 37. Vessels should approach from the stern (the end flying flags)." Brownsea is behind, with its lagoon just visible.
