Tidal Thames Navigators Club

[Gargleblaster]

The Port of London Authority seem to be sponsoring the 'Tidal Thames Navigators Club'. It is free to join and they send you useful information on the Thames, including Tide Tables and a nice laminated information sheet including an annotated chartlet. However with the Tide Tables the ones I was sent were for 2015 which are not much use to me with both boats ashore. Perhaps I should have waited until 2016. I am hoping that they will send me 2016 next year. Ports included in the tide Tables are: Walton on the Naze, Margate, Shivering Sands, Southend on Sea, Tilbury, North Woolwich and London Bridge.

They obviously want us to navigate better! The PLA did previously publish a fold out large leaflet with lots of info and showing the yacht track passed Canvey and the crossover at Mucking. This sounds like a better thing. Will wait until 2016:encouragement:

Thanks John, very good tip.

Funnily enough, my 2016 tide tables turned up from them this very morning!

As a member of just a week or so and having received2015 tide tables originally, Teh PLA have now sent me 2016 tide tables. So it doesn't matter when you join if you want 2016 Tide Tables I think.

Th other useful thing about the Tide Tables is that the include sunset and sunrise as well as moonrise and moonset, just the thing you need when you are trying to leave a shallow waterway in the middle of the night and trying to see the withies.
