Anyone been through Foulgers recently? I recall Tiller Girl was saying that the buoys are to be replaced but I've seen no more.
Apologies if I'm being thick (er than usual)

If you scroll down this page of the nice Mr.Tillergirl's site http://www.crossingthethamesestuary.com/page9.html
you will find a diagram showing the buoyage that was due to be replaced about a week ago. Cannot confirm that it actually happened but I would have thought that Trinity House would have announced any delay. Note there are now 3 buoys, not two.
 
Trinity House normally say 'on or after' and then nothing further even if there is a delay. THV Alert does need reasonably settled weather for its auto dynamic positioning to work.
 
Come on. Get yourselves sorted out. I'm supposed to be going through the gat on Tuesday.

Cor. Which bit of "I just phoned Thames CG, they told me that the 3 buoys have been established in position" wasn't quite clear?! :encouragement:
And where's the O.P? All this trouble we've gone to...

It's just that I had forgotten what a buoy looked like, which Tillergirl has now corrected, for which many thanks.
 
Suffering from deprivation myself, soon to be remedied as we are headed up the Thames next week, lots of the perishing things up that way.
