Thanks for that. I wonder why/when the office is going to tell the berthholders?

I received a letter last Wednesday about this - I would guess all the letters would have been posted on the same day?

I haven't recieved a letter,I am on H pontoon, perhaps they are not working there. Where are you?

 

[pks1702]

On H too but perhaps my name is toward the end of the alphabet!

 

[PaulGooch]

No letter here either.

I also wonder why they don't make use of all of the email addresses they collected last year ?

 

[DipperToo]

Dredging will be spanning from D to G only.

I know from grounding that there are various 'lumps' between E and F when the water is low in the marina (2m depth or less in places)

Perhaps they didn't collect many.

Thanks DipperToo, that might explain why we in the cheap seats haven't been told.

No letter for me on C either... Must be the racy boys with their 2.3m drafts on D

 

[CliveG]

The visitors pontoon (G?) has been quite shallow for a year or two.
Hopefully that is being adressed.

They've only written to owners whose boats will have to be moved. They're dredging the area from D pontoon to the G linear.

Thanks pvb, it becomes clearer until they start dredging.

 

[pks1702]

Thanks for the explanations.

I checked over this weekend and have 6.9 feet under me so I guess unless a deep keeler beyond the visitors linear there is justifiably no need.

Mind you Ipswich Haven could do with a look........

Fairly big tides today, so marina is probably high. 6.9 ft gives me about 7 inches under keel, but it is soft. Fairway between H & J is shallow at the end VJS grounds sometimes.

 

[pks1702]

Yes tides were pretty high this weekend.

6.9ft was the lowest reading I had 7.6ft was the highest I guess after water had 'topped' over the lock.

7" is not much clearance but it must be worth it being of on 'the friendly pontoon'!!

Your right though I had forgotten about VJS.

Perhaps i'm wrong in assuming everyone has an email address lol

I gave them mine, had a fiver knocked of the lift out

Yes so did I. I suppose it depends on the response, until they get near universal coverage for emails they can't dispense with mailings. Half and half is perhaps too complicated for the office. I am sure everyone berthed at Shotley has an email address but it relies on them being supplied to the marina.

 

[pks1702]

I gave them mine and spent the fiver on beer in the Shipwreck.............. priorities at the time I suppose
