Flood warnings as well!

[Habebty]

I decided I would be better & happier o/b. arrived 20 mins ago. the pontoons are all lashed together across the openings. sea dweller still afloat, I have checked her lines. the marina staff are on duty. will keep you posted as long as the wifi holds out

Nice one, was a bit worried about the boat but have been busy with flood prep at work as well as all the other problems we've had today.

I have placed my throne on the end of the pontoon at Bridgemarsh, opposite Canewdon (Landing place of Canute).

Well done Jim.
That should put an end to all this surge lark.
You just sit comfortably until it is all over.
Hope you don't get wet feet!!

Anyone know if there is anyone on duty at Royal Harwich keeping an eye on the marina?

I bet he'll have a nice bottle of single malt next to him as well!!!!

Tidal surge at Lowestoft isn't looking good, other reports around the web talking about areas already flooding, Boston (Lincs) is only a few miles from the inlaws yet they didn't even know this was coming

Boston is looking like it might be very bad... In particular the lower areas to the north and north west...

l decided to go. now on a mooring at Stoke sc West of no 9 by.

Mersea jaywick brittlsea likely to flood.

Just had a call from Ralph at Fox's
Most boats moved out of Meadow as a precaution -- Well Done them -- a big relief !!

Staff are still there - busy

 

[Athene V30]

Where is the meadow in relation to the Fox's Sales office? Boat I hope to buy is next to office. Is that likely to flood?

Appreciate this is a minor concern compared to those who's boats are on pontoons etc

 

[Firefly]

London VTS reported tide 2.8m above prediction at 21.23hrs which was around low water. Still expecting about 1.3m above at high water. Probably means our clubhouse will be partly flooded (Gravesend).

No I do not think so - The "Meadow" area is probably 2mtre lower. The boat from the Meadow have been moved up to this higher level (same as Office) Ralph did tell me that the meadow area had not flooded under these high tide warnings but this one looks a bit extreme - so hence precautions being taken

 

[dombuckley]

It's the lower section down to the south, towards the orwell bridge: the tide will still have another 2-3m to go before it gets to your new baby.

Edit: Damn this slow keyboard!
