Some interesting bits this week.

Permanent

1. Extension of the Gunfleet Sands Wind Farm to enclose the space for the two Demo extra large trubines. I had thought this was going to be to the eastern side of the existing wind farm but it is the Spitway side. Should not get in our way - just - but one wonders when it will stop!
2. A couple of depths in the approach channel to Ramsgate out near Gull. Should not affect us.
3. Two new cardinals to protect the Rock Berms over the London Array cables. One near the Princes Channel and the other is a replacement of the SW of the four yellow special marks where the London Array cable passes over the Kentish Flats Wind Farm
4. Marine Farm and Nature Reserve just north of the Oosterschelde
5. A rather long list of depth changes over some of the Belgium and Dutch banks. They are too spread for an image but having looked at all of them (not the most exciting thing I've done recently), they are small changes and the min depth is 5.2 and so unlikely to dramatically affect us. The subscript for the decimal place is not displaying well at the moment. It's correct on the file uploaded but doesn't look right. I shall be uploading it again in due course to see if that corrects it.

Temporary

1. London Array update. Some work by Foulger's this week. The cable laying ship is still some way from Fisherman's Gat.
2. Notice of some temporary wave rider etc buoys between Orford Ness and Blyth.
3. A temporary obstruction off the Cutler
4. A PLA Notice regarding the extension of the Gunfleet Sands Wind Farm together with a chart of the intended power cable runs ashore to near Jaywick (which should provide some new business opportunities!)
5. PLA Notice regading the Tall Ships at Greenwich and the Parade of Sail on 24th and 25th July.
6. and some diving around the Isle of Grain Jetties.

That's it.
