1. ENGLAND - East Coast - Approaches to Lowestoft and Holm Sand - Depths. Drying height. - Three reduced soundings around the Holm Sand - the west edge very steep to and is encroaching the Corton Road: 4 reduced soundings in the approaches to Lowestoft. Two images on the usual page:
2. ENGLAND - East Coast - Blakeney Point E - Legend. - delete of a 'legend' "Planned". I haven't got any record of that on any of the charts in my possession so 'tis a mystery - but it isn't there now anyway. It was marked need the site of the cabling from the land point to the Sheringham Sands Wind Farm so I assumed it was something about that!
3. 301(P)/2018 ENGLAND - East Coast - Lowestoft SE - Works. Maritime limit. Buoyage. - This is buoyage for the First Phase of the East Anglia 1 Wind Farm. That Wind Farm is east of Lowestoft/Southwold but just west of the Deep Water and junction at the North Hinder. I have placed two images on the web site in the usual NtM 2018 list: the first to show the position, the second closer in to show the detail of the buoy, names and characteristics;
4. ENGLAND - East Coast - Roger Sand E - Buoyage. - slight move of two lateral buoys for the Freeman Channel leading to Boston, and the deletion of the Boston Roads Safe Water Buoy. Image:
5. ENGLAND - East Coast - Lower Hope Reach - Depth. - a new sounding off East Tilbury but at 8.3m, not very exciting for us.

Temporary

1. Dredging on Hickling Broad - Restricted Access to Hickling Staithe - Hickling Staithe and the boat dyke leading to the Staithe will be closed to navigation during weekdays from Monday 12 February until Friday 23 February 2018;

3. Port of London - ST CLEMENTS REACH GRAYS TERMINAL JETTY WORKS from today.
4. Essex Marina - dredging in and around the Marina until 28th March. Pontoons may be moved and temporary lit at night.

That is it.

Oh yes. Thanks. It was working but now it doesn't. I shall investigate once I have collected GK from the railway station!

PS. The download button will still show the images.

PPS. I have reloaded the pages and for now the images are back. Can't explain it but for the moment it is working. Please let me know if it fails again.
