A lot of the channel

[1937rogerdon]

Enjoyed a great sail today with a gentle breeze until the tide turned then, with a big black cloud over head the wind came in and the tide turned and I quickly had SW 25 knts tru all the way back to Barry. However, the channel is full of tree trunks some very large. In the area around the Holms I counted over 12 logs and large sections of trees. Only one traffic cone.

So if there was only one traffic cone, how did you know which side of it to pass? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

We were out the holms sunday and came across a lot of tree trunks and branches.

If they're still there today I guess they've taken root. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Took it as a Port Hand buoy.

Just testing!

Was there a statue underneath the traffic cone?

Yup, loads of tree sections and general rubbish floating about on Sunday, had to be quite careful coming back in. Worst one was what looked like a blue fender, turned out to be an empty gas bottle floating past Sully Island. That would've done some damage.

Anyone seen the dredger yet ? I noticed the port hand cans sat up on the mud on Sunday well away from the channel, haven't seen the dredger yet though

The dredger was in and out quite a lot on sunday, she seemed to reverse into the outer harbour of the barrage stay about 5 mins and then zoom off to mid channel,"Sospan"is her name.i know this because we had a nice drift around looking for some wind about a mile out from Penarth.
