Very high tide this morning, another tank trap gone and the last one won't be far behind it. Bits of the carpark falling into the sea as you watch and I believe the next fisherman's hut is in danger.
Meanwhile the lifeboat was out just of shore, looked like a search pattern but of course an exercise would look the same.
Interesting point, as far as I know any sediment deposits are only what have washed downstream, sand from the sea isn't deposited upstream. That's my understanding anyway, happy to be corrected.
The 2nd half of the base to the fisherman's hut that was moved went last night Chris... that's about 8 feet gone in 6 weeks and it's not even winter yet!
The rate of loss here seems to be accelerating as the Bacton sand is accumulating on the spit causing the tide to cut in behind it which is what is taking out the carpark rapidly.
You've probably already checked this out... but just in case, the Broom Owners Club I believe have details and manuals on most variations.

This year was the first time I can remember turning up to find no mooring left at all, although for obvious reasons it was far from an ordinary year!
One thing about Stokesby is that it's a good spot to moor if crossing Breydon the next day and also a good place to stop if you've just crossed South to North
If slack at Yarmouth is 1pm for example, then those traveling South have left and those traveling North haven't arrived giving you a better chance from midday until 2pm.
It's not an exact science lol but you probably will find a spot on most days anyway 👍
Gauges lie lol
I guess there are certain circumstances where individual 'requirements' vary.. we mostly work on the "better safe than sorry" principle.
I admire the.. um, constitution, of those able to manage a fortnight between pump outs, delicacy forbids further enquiry lol
