Notice to Mariners Week 20

[tillergirl]

Bit time consuming this evening - ugh.

Permanent

1. New Editions of Admiralty Charts published 19 May 2016: Chart 1350 France - North Coast, Dunkerque and Approaches. Chart 1606 East Coast, Thames Estuary, Fisherman's Gat to Princes Channel. Chart 1609 East Coast, Thames Estuary, Knock John Channel to Sea Reach.
2. Approaches to Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth - Depths. Obstructions. - some new reductions - see images (and indeed for all the the NtM) http://www.crossingthethamesestuary.com/page9.html
3. East Coast - The Wash - Freeman Channel NW - Buoyage. swapping a cardinal for a starboard hand buoy;
4. East Coast - The Wash - Boston Deep - Buoy delete (Scullridge);
5. East Coast - Approaches to Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth - Buoyage - the new SCB 'Barley' and the move of the East Cross Sand as notified by Trinity House 4 weeks ago;
6. East Coast - Greater Gabbard Wind Farm - Works. Maritime limit. Buoyage. 12 new buoys marked the perimeter of the Wind Farm to be built - seeing the image is probably worthwhile for people who pass this way. I am trying to locate the local NtM from the Wind Farm developers but not successfully yet.

Temporary

1. A new pipeline in Lowestoft harbour worth taking care on route to Lake Lothing;
2. And of course Dredging still at Wells.

That's it, sorry its a bit late.

One addition today - Crouch Harbour Authority

"Buxey Edge Light Buoy - River Crouch - Mariners are advised that the sign on the Buxey Edge, Starboard Hand Green Pillar Light Buoy in position:

5140.659’N 00103.487’E

is temporarily missing."

Not the best!

I found to my interest that there are no buoys up the Boston Deep in the Wash any more. Following an old track on the plotter stuffed me gently up on some new sand. Its a place to keep aware and alert rather than relying on old knowledge.
You can still get through the Dogs head no problems with plenty of depth.
