A local warning 
, a keel was dropped in the centre of Salcott Creek, West Mersea recently.. The keel has a line remaining attached that floats that is just one metre of the surface at LW neaps. The precise location is 51.46.192N, 000.53.547E. Obviously plans to recover the keel are being progressed. Cancelled - the keel is recovered and removed.
And that is that.
Oh. PS. I can now finish off the Spitway survey. Should be done in a day or so. Preliminary views are that the best water is still east of the line of SWBs
