We went there today and I took some photos at low tide.

I've just wasted 3/4 of an hour of an hour trying to attach them to a a New Post, and after selecting them and adding them to the post using the user-hostile routine, they're not there when I preview. GRRRRR.

Given up now and I'm going to sulk and read my Kindle :disgust:

Upload them to Photobucket, click on the "Direct" link, which copies the link, then paste it in to your post between
brackets. Takes seconds.

I really dislike the Ore entrance at the moment, there was precious little depth at HW-2 late autumn and even less after Turing right to hold up the Ore. It's getting close to a no go for us.
 
OK, where is it?

The entrance I mean!

(Only joking but jeez it's gonna be a squeaky bum exercise if it doesn't open out a bit in the next month or two!)
 
Does look a bit challenging! It wasn't a picnic last year.
Trinity House survey, if done as usual, will be late March / early April, with Imray chartlet produced soon after. Could all change with a NE gale, of course.
 
It is a local thought that more water is going in and obviously out after the saltings up towards Little Japan were flooded in the last surge. A local fisherman thinks this has increased the current in the river but I am not so sure. The water has to go in and come out somehow and personally I thought last year was pretty 'straight' forward, maybe a bit shallow in places but then I only draw 3 ft. Fingers crossed it will sort itself out in time for Easter.
