Flood Gates

[Hylander]

I see that today and tomorrow on the North Norfolk Coast they are expecting very high tides, hence the flood gates.  Will this affect the Broads?

It may do .It certainly  will do at Hemsby  again.No doubt  the crew and volunteers  there will again work long hours to re instate  the beach.

Advice this morning from Hemsby Lifeboat
" Weather experts predict higher-than-usual tides this weekend and wind direction that may contribute to further erosion of the Hemsby Coastline.

Please beware of these conditions over the weekend, particularly during High tides, which are as follows:

Friday - 08:33 & 21:20

Saturday - 0915 & 22:00

Sunday - 09:58 & 22:40

Please take extra care around the dunes and sea defences, and don't venture onto the dunes as they continue to be unstable and prone to collapse. Thank you for your attention, and please stay safe. "

I hope its as bad as the last time st Hemsby. Three meters  of the dunes were lost yo the se and the crew and volunteers  spent  three days re enslaving  the beach,with no help from outside organisions .

Should  read I hope its NOT as bad.

Fortunately we have high pressure overhead and the wind forecasts are not too bad- going NE for tomorrow but SE for Sunday and decreasing.

Could be a lot worse I guess!

Most of reedham quay had over topped when we left with 2 hours of flood to go,  coldham Hall is now our planned lunchtime beer stop as it has a fairly high edge.

Big thanks to Craig at reedham (warden) for helping hold my gelcoat off the concrete while I climbed on board and got the tail into the tide.

That concrete staithe at Reedham always put me off mooring there when I had my own boat. Good job by the warden.
