I've heard of "stone frigates" but it's the first time I have seen a concrete sub surfacing....

Is that Clacton Pier in the distance?

Re: \'tis the season for silly whereisits

That would put this as one of those breakwaters at Jaywick and I think they are all chunks of stone/concrete.

As a bit of drift, was is that on Google Earth at 51.46.37.64N 001.08.22.50E?

[/ QUOTE ] Nope...definitely not off Jaywick! Sail past there about 8 times a season each way, and never seen a structure like the black and yellow pylon anywhere between the mouths of the Colne and the Orwell.

Re: \'tis the season for silly whereisits

I'm sure there is a post like that off Margate, but the scenery on the left doesn't look correct......

Re: \'tis the season for silly whereisits

Yes please if you are offering. You might find cider more common there though....

Re: \'tis the season for silly whereisits

With me doing the navigation we would end up in Skegness /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

[muckypup]

Re: \'tis the season for silly whereisits

I do have to keep things shiny, and the polish helps... not sure what that has to do with cider though...
