I'm currently agound somewhere in the vicinity of Walton backwaters.
It got really dark and cloudy at the wrong time and I couldn't find the bouys. I can see them now though.
I've assessed the situation and it's not too bad. Wind is going to drop overnight so I can just stay here until first light.
Looking out of our lounge window, I suspect you were aground on Stone Point, behind the Plum Tree buoy.
You have done the difficult bit and and deeper water is about 20 meters further into the channel, where you can anchor before possibly progressing up the Walton Channel to pick up one of the many vacant buoys (mine included), where you won’t be bothered and can sort things out in slower time.
If you want any more info get back to me.
I will be on the water around Titchmarsh, The Twizzle and The Wade from about 1100 today, covering the W&FYC Cadet Week.
I will be on Channel 37, listening watch 16 from about 0900, call sign Tay. If you call me we can chop to a less busy channel or phone.
ps 0630. See vessel that was on Stone Point has now floated off and there are now no boats in that anchorage.
Next low tide is 0753 local/ 0.86m, wind westerly 10 kts on a perfect sunny morning.
Hope all is well with you.
