ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. - Three reductions of depth on the eastern edge of the Whitaker Spit and four around the ‘finger’ extending north-east from the East Barrow Sand. Cutting across Whitaker Spit to and from the Middle Deep perhaps needs a little more care. These changes were prompted by a Port of London Authority survey earlier this year commissioned by the Crouch Harbour Authority. It seems to me the PLA survey on the north-east corner of the East Barrow Sands was deliberately to help leisure users who like to 'cut the corner' round the edge of the sands dropping down to the SW Sunk.
