whats the census of opinion, do we need to go to our boats and prepare to go for a motor?

I am from the Crouch

 

[sailorman]

My berth pile has well over 2m still showing so im told my a forumite

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

can't speak for the Crouch, but Shotley looks OK now... only 2 hrs to HW and so the worst of the rise is over... and its still a long long way below the levels in Dec.

Hi Perry
It may be easing but this blip was predicted

 

[sailorman]

It seems to be following this fairly well

Hi Perry

Pretty well predicted I have to say.

 

[pks1702]

Easing back up as predicted.

Yes but the horse hasn't bolted yet!

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

I reckon Biff is reading this thread and teasing us with the webcam!

Looks like it should just avoid going over the top of the lock walls at Shotley, but a bit hard to tell for sure from the webcam...

Surge has but the tide hasn't. Be interesting to see when / if it does.

Surge certainly seems to have an inertia effect!
