Confused of Chichester

[VicS]

Have I missed some change to the navigation marks system ( buoyage and all that stuff) or does something look wrong here

Here is its mate

(sorry if the orientation is wrong)

No problem you might say but this is what they look like as silhouettes against the light

You are right - Thornham Marina say a contactor got it wrong and it will be fixed.

Obviously a contactor not switched on .

In Finland, they don't put top marks on their cardinals. You just hope that they aren't in silhouette.

I'd not like to have to rely on cardinals with no top marks ..... in fact off hand I cannot remember the arrangement of black and yellow bands, even if I could see them.

but before someone tells me

Black corresponds with the points but fully agree, a bit of weed growth and the yellow looks black around the base, making Noth an East.

The marks being complained about are not cardinals. Red cones to port are simply wrong and Thornham say they are going to put them right.

Like having IALA A and IALA B systems combined, or driving on the right and the left in the same country!

So you've driven in Egypt then??

I went into Thornham Marina a couple of years ago with a long keel which was pretty hairy just navigating by sticks that had fallen over in the mud, very little room to manoeuvre

Great folks that run it - love the idea of their bottom scrub promotion, £30 odd quid but they will do it for free if they lose the toss of a coin.
