Permanent Notices

1. 'Less Water reported' between the Corton and Scroby Sands off Great Yarmouth. Might affect us.
2. Reduction in depth to 17.4m at one spot at the head of the East Swin. Won't affect us.

Temporary Notices

1. Nothing published from the Wind Farm yet. Their NtM is late - probably tomorrow. I'll add to the thread when done.
2. Notice from the PLA that the Cable laying from the East Swale to the London array will start on 4th October having been delayed. This is the work that will close Fisherman's Gat when it gets there. No date yet given for that. The cable laying vessel hauls itself along by its anchors, other vessels moving its anchors for it. So it will be a bit of an entourage to avoid. The notice also sets out the procedure if encoutered in Princes Channel. Worth reading chaps.
 
London Array NtM is now available and the entry and image on the Temporary NtM pages: http://www.eastcoastsailing.co.uk/ntm.html is updated.

There are two foundation installations in the vicinity of Foulger's Gat this week plus cable laying between foundations to the west of the Gat is continuing.

So it is possible that the Gat will be closed this week. Call the Guard Boat Mary Ann 1 for instructions.
