Eventually after a new hard disc! I have added a Supplement to the Book - Free to download either from the Website or shortly also from the Imray site. This supplement adds four new sectors covering the Princes Channel enabling anyone with the book to link up existing sectors with the new ones and thus add ten new routes:
1-3 Blackwater, Colne and Crouch to Ramsgate via the Swin and Princes Channel
4 Medway to Ramsgate via the Princes Channel
5 Sea Reach to Ramsgate via the Princes Channel
6-8 Blackwater, Colne and Crouch to Sea Reach
9-10 Harwich and Deben to Sea Reach.
This came as a result of a Solent sailor delivering a new (to him) boat from Burnham with 2 metres draft and not wanting to cross the Sunk on a falling tide. Once I had worked up some tables for 5 knots, it didn't seem too difficult to do the others and reverse it as well. The sharp eyed amongst you will recognise this as a route Janet Harber added to the current edition of East Coast Rivers.
It's a pdf download of 32 pages or 18 if you print it backed in the style of the book.
There is also a partial chartlet of the half tide crossing point half a mile above the collapsed SW Sunk Beacon showing the data available to date.
I hope it proves useful.
