[tonplus]

Rivers seem really low at the moment. 

Lowest I've seen it.

It'll fill up soon, it's tidal you know.

Water was very high earlier this week. It may be something to do with the big white shiny thing in the night sky at the moment.

Tides very high and very low,Wednesday, Thursday and yesterday. Yes it's the moon that did it.

We are also approaching the Autumnal Equinox. When Sun and Moon coinside over the equator greater than normal Spring Tides occur. The equinox is often accompanied by strong winds. The actual time of the Equinox this year is 0850 hours on the 23rd September.

The other notable fact being that this year it will mark my attainment of "Three Score Years and Ten" Yes I was born on the Autumnal Equinox 70 years ago!. Someone who believes in these things once tried to tell me that is where my love of the " Bleak", the mountains, Blue Water sailing and the wild places of the World came from.

Think our prop is hitting the bottom at Acle, either that or the leg has packed up   will wait for high water and see if she'll move then.

Going to be a high one today going by the following.

Yesterday it looked like the tide was lower than we’ve ever seen it in the last three years on the coast here. And this morning it did look higher than ever. The groynes were almost completely underwater on this stretch of disused beach just to the north of Lowestoft.

Did manage to get out after the level came up. Obviously there is something in our mooring lurking under the water

River levels low?, not at Gt Yarmouth at 11.15 this morning, 5'9" under the bridges, that's rather high, not low.
