I know that this was touched on in another thread, but i believe that we need to involve the locals, Is anyone from WFYC or Tichmarsh monitoring the situation with regard to silting up as they did last year? the info that was provided last year was invaluable, I must say that it was a bit buttock clenching entering when someone was coming out as the depth dropped off dramatically within a couple of meters, especially when you draw 1.9 like we do.
The topography of Stone point (around where the WFYC sign stood) had changed alarmingly, over the back, the sand dunes had been dramatically eroded. Looking towards the drowned lighters, it was possible to see the tide swirling over the mud banks instead of coming up through the channel at Stone Point, presumably because so much volumn was trying to force itself through a restricted gap, this made the boats at anchor point all over the place some even against the expected tide. If its going to be worse this year!!
