I've wondered why there are two marks that end of the baffle but none at the seaward end.

 

[tillergirl]

Quite - my memory (which I confess is pretty dodgy) was that the baffled (sic) wall was cut off at the level of the seabed which suggests t'wasn't much of a hazard and must have been cut off either side.

If they find a Squib keel boat wrapped round it can we have it back at Stone SC please
Come to that if anyone finds it we would like to know.
Been missing since Stone week 2015 so must turn up one day
