Week 25
1. New ADMIRALTY Small Craft Charts to be published on 4th July, 2024: SCC 5614.1 A Orford Ness to Benacre Ness. 1:75,000, B Orford Ness. 1:50,000: SCC 5614.2 Lowestoft to Winterton Ness. 1:75,000: SCC 5614.6 A Caister-on-Sea to Mundesley. 1:75,000, B Southwold Harbour. 1:7,500
2. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. - This notice has 4 reduced soundings, 2 on the east side of the Long Sand and 2 on the east side of the Kentish Knock. There have been two previous Notices this year in the same two areas: NtM 1880 and 2107. That provides a total of 5 reduced depths on the east side of the Long Sand and 7 on the east side of the Kentish Knock. The images shows all the new depths.
3. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. Drying height. - Three reduction of depth in the Great Yarmouth Outer Harbour (commerce only), four reductions of depth on the eastern ‘bank’ of the Gorleston Road and two on the west ban k of the River Yare. I cannot illustrate the changes in the River Yare.
Week 24
1. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. - One reduction of depth east of the Corton Sand and five reductions of depth on the eastern edge of the Scroby Sands. Not where you would normally be.
2. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. - One reduction of depth at the western side of the southern entrance of Fisherman’s Gat. At 4m, unlikely to hinder leisure craft.
3. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. - Two reductions of depth north of the Harwich Deep Water Channel close by the Washington SHB. Ample water for leisure craft.
4. ENGLAND - East Coast - Wreck. Depths. - This notice records two reductions of depth and a wreck at the SW Sunk swatchway. The data is provide by the Port of London Authority dint of their August, 2023 survey. The wreck was identified by us earlier that year and the PLA kindly surveyed the area to identify the safe water over the wreck. We did report the PLA data last year but this is now confirmed. There are two reductions of depth both on the north side of the Black Deep which shows the sands had encroached a little. This will not hinder us. The image I am using is based on the contours shown on 2022 so are a little dated. Please refer to our 2024 download at: https://www.crossingthethamesestuary.com/page29.htm
5. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. Wreck. - Two reductions of depth in the Yantlet Secondary channels (either side) south of Shoeburyness which are unlikely to hinder leisure craft. Also a wreck already marked in the north side of the Yantlet secondary channel is now swept at 8.2m.
6. ENGLAND - East Coast - Depths. Drying heights. - 4 reductions of depth in the Boston approach channel, one of which is 0 depth and 2 are drying heights.
7. BELGIUM - Buoyage. - A new yellow special lit buoy just west of Blankenberg and deletion of 11 north cardinal buoys along the shore between Ostende and Blankenberg.
8. ENGLAND - East Coast - Obstructions. - Unexploded ordnance (UXO) - Notice 2273 in week 21 reported three locations of ordnance on the Nore Sand to avoid. Now the notice is repeated with an additional fourth entry, east of the Nore Sand. Note this image together with the previous image. In the following thread with the Local notices, there are 4 PLA Notices reporting UXO around the Nore Sand. Some are new, some are repeats so look at the images. Basically don't anchor or fish on the Nore Sand an anywhere around it. One wonders whether Ordnance has fell out of the Montgomery many years ago and has been rolled away?
See images at: Notices to Mariners but right now updating the page seems to be ratehr delayed.
See local notices next.
