Higher tides next week

[Naughty Cal]

Humber Rescue have taken supplies to the grounded yacht today. Enough to last them a week until the tides are high enough to float them off.

 

 

They would have needed a bigger RIB to get a weeks beer supply across to us ???

Boats running aground on the Humber seems very common this year . 

The examples in your link seem to be a very long way off the channel  (where the rescue boat is presumably located).  It seems very odd  that people have strayed so far off the channel.  I wonder if someone is giving people the wrong advice regarding navigation.

The channel is just very narrow at the minute. Latest chart from the ABP Humber below:

 

 

There isn't a lot of room for error.

 

Looks like a new channel is appearing to the north bank.

I wonder if they are actually asking / taking any advice ?

Buy a boat, jump in, drive off.

One of the boats aground this time is a local boat and crew that have made the passage many times. They still got it wrong this time!

Both refloated on this evenings tide.

Given that evidence I am pleased that we didn't make it to the Humber this  year.

I thought that was standard practice if you grounded on a falling tide so the next rising tide could not push you further up the bank.

It is
