The \"Tidal\" non tidal Thames
Moored up on the island at WIndsor for the last 24 hours and the water has been up and down like a yoyo.
Plenty of water when berthed - well, boat was afloat anyway. Came back from shops later to find boat started touching bottom when boats went by and caused significant movement - do peeps realise that its not just rocking and rolling they cause when they go by too fast?
Anyway, level judging by bankside was a good few inches down from arrival time so rang lockie at Romney who said they were just about to close down sluices to bring levels up again. Sure enough, a couple of hours later we had risen significantly and this morning we're well up against yesterdays high.
So, anyone know how we work out the "tides" ? No 6 hourly cycle, no secondary ports info....... /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Oh, and the stream is still running quite fast - all the locks from Cookham down to Boveney were on Yellows again yesterday....
