Excavator now working to deepen and alter channel. We should be able to deepen to about 3m except for the extreme entrance where his arm cannot reach. That's sorted by dragging chains / metalwork behind a boat repeatedly.

Photos etc. to follow as work progresses. I may even send up my Video Drone to capture the work ......
