    Slow but sure, you're doing great with him. The wee in the kitchen could just be stress, he's been through a lot and he's still learning that he has a lovely new safe home with you 👍

    Also it's possible he doesn't know yet how to ask you to let him out, bless him 🙂

    Lethal Salt Surge

    in Broads Chat

    Posted

    As I moor at Herbert Woods (for 2 more days) I signed up to the EA email notifications re the barrier. As you can see from this example on the 26th it can and does open for boats at pre-arranged times. How this affects the fish I don't know.

     

    "" Saline Barrier at Potter Heigham

    Due to the continuing north westerly winds causing tide locking, we are expecting to see increasing salt levels in the River Thurne again over the next day or so.

    This email is to inform you that due to these weather conditions, the saline barrier at Herbert Woods Boat Yard, Potter Heigham will need to be closed today, Monday 26th, at around 5pm to protect the fish in the basin.  

    We will review the situation tomorrow but looking at the forecast currently, it is expected that the barrier may need to remain in place for up to 36 hours. We will email you again once we know when it can be opened. We will however have staff on site at 8am on Tuesday to allow boats in and out of the basin. Please make yourself known to them if you would like to take your boat through. 

    Kind Regards,

    Norfolk Land and Water team  | East Anglia Area Environment Agency ""

    You're absolutely right, I have seen some accounts of what can happen!

    Probably not a bad idea, Ray.  There’s a significant tidal rise and fall, so having a few on your mooring isn’t a bad shout.  We have a few on ours.

    I have a good selection of sizes... sounds like they will be handy after all 👍

    No problem cleaning them but seems a shame to use the chemicals if they end up in landfill anyway. Wrong size and colour for current boat but I guess I can keep them on the off chance I change boats again in the future

    Aha, I have caused confusion...  my work here is done 😂

    I was reminded of my childhood error when I read -

    The very elderly cat reared up on its hind legs and chased the dog out of the back door and down the garden battering the bejezus out of the dog while still reared up on its hind legs

    If reading that you have in mind cat = female, dog = male it all falls into place...  a bit, I hope 😁
