Southwold entrance

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Anyone know the latest?

A couple of weeks ago, Thames CG was broadcasting a nav warning about a bar having developed across the entrance...

a bar having developed across the entrance...

Are Adnams running it?

Better send in Full Circle, CPD and Morgana. They seem to be developing a reputation for clearing bars.

Actually, Morgana can get large 40ft Beneteaus into the Alde at LW. His technique is to pretend its High Water, and just open the throttle when the water gets thicker.

Should have it clear in no time.

Spoken to HM just now (Paul on 01502 724712) who told me that the approach to the entrance should now be made at 310deg and not 330 as used to be the case. Once in the entrance keep to sboard to the knuckle (where entrance widens) then to starboard again until into the main river. I for one would only enter at HW +/- 30mins or so, to ensure sufficient water but mainly to avoid the current. Once bitten, twice shy. Don't ask.

HW this Saturday 1309 2.44m, tho weather not looking too helpful. Entrance best avoided with anything with east in it.

Ah yes; the so-called Oostende Fishing Line Technique
