No matter what time we come into Yarmouth in relation to low water we tend to come in against the tide and it's always strong but we have an ungoverned new engine so power shouldn't be a problem and, as a number of people have said, it's easier to maneovre than if we're with the tide. Not having the same ability to stop as a car, however, I was hoping to ensure that there wouldn't be any surprises when we came round the corner! If the channel width is as normal and the opening of the passage under Vauxhall bridge hasn't been delayed then there should be no more problem than normal. Here's hoping for no rain, no fog and little wind!

Thanks for the information but it was a more personal experience information I was looking for. It would be good to know before coming in against a strong ebb tide that there was no less space than normal! Hope someone can help.

Our boat is moored at Chedgrave at present and we're bringing her back to the marina on the norther rivers a week today. Has anyone been through Yarmouth since work was started? Any advice or information about how narrow the channel is under the bridge and how much 'stuff' is in the way would be greatly appreciated. Kay
