SW Sunk: I had intended to run the survey today as it was perfect for tide times. However on account a funk I didn't go - just because it was cold of course, not on account of blowy - it would have been a good day to poke around the edge of the sand on a lee shore. I am certain I am sure I would have found the edge absolutely exactly!:p:p Seriously I had hoped later this week but the forecast conditions seem to change by the hour for each day this week giving a choice a tiny wind window for a few hours or none at all. :disgust: First sensible opportunity I will take and report back.
 
I am sure it will still be there when the weather improves.

ps I miss not having a look at TG when I walk the dog now that you have have left your winter hideaway.
