[Chris_Robb]

Yes but YOU have the option of adding one hour on. Possibly you have.

Just go and look at the Bramblenet tides - cut from there all in one go -

They are from the same site so how do we get different times???!!!!

Have they been breathalysed yet..

No - they are waiting for a shove from you

Southampton high water times sometimes go backwards because the published time is always the higher of the two high water times. Sometimes the second one is higher, sometimes the first.

My goodness - a time warp.

Is this one of these odd Solent double tide effects ... is the second one bigger for one cycle only?

"Hoegh Osaka ran aground on The Solent off the Island’s coastline, prompting a major rescue operation to save 25 crews members and a pilot on board the stricken vessel."

"Island Echo understands a mechanical malfunction could be to blame for the incident, with a hard port steer engaged"

"UPDATE @ 10:10 – Ships are now able to enter and leave the Port of Southampton, with a number of large container ships having successfully passed the Hoegh Osala this morning."

Good news . Looking at AIS SeaStart 4 has just arrived. They towed me home once

I wonder if the grounding was deliberate...

If the ship had developed a problem then running onto the bank is far safer than drifting or being out of control on the Solent.

HM Easy tides now give 10.06 HW for today, so looks like the IOW and Solent tides are a mystery to most men, let alone sailors, so what is the real HW prediction for the area that the stricken ship is in ?

I assume that they are as I posted re Mondays and Tuesdays. We know that the tide reached it highest point at 10:20 today - so todays entry was Bollocks

 

[Capt Popeye]

More to the point, is it damaging the cricket pitch?

:0

Was there a game arranged for today then ?

Me not knowing cricketing rules, what are the rules about a ship on the pitch then ?

I'm sticking with 10.20 something

Why would she need to do that? She could do what other ships in the Solent have done for hundreds of years when they wished to stop moving, ie: anchor.

If she was listing heavily, as reported in some sources.

 

[pvb]

Out of interest, would a pilot have been on board?

 

[Poignard]

I think not necessarily. The masters of a ship that regularly visits a port can qualify as pilot for that port.

 

[macd]

what are the rules about a ship on the pitch then ?

Oddly, there don't seem to be any rules specifically about several thousands tons of marine hardware on a cricket pitch. However, Law 10.2(b), which deals with pitch sweeping, requires that the pitch shall be cleared of any debris at all intervals for meals, between innings and at the beginning of each day, not earlier than 30 minutes nor later than 10 minutes before the time scheduled or rescheduled for play to begin.

One hopes the salvage crew are acquainted with this provision. And have rather large brooms.

Yes.

Yes.

This place cracks me up
