Señor Chris Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 So the plan is: Leave Naburn first thing at high water, approx 4hrs with the tide arriving Goole low water then tie up to a pier for 3hrs until Ocean Lock opens for business.

Midnight Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Yes sounds like a plan. Just make sure you follow the channel around the back of Hook Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john6767 Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Only done between Naburn and Selby, but watch out for all the floating debris! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I noticed that on the way up. Amusing to see a large cruiser bumbling along behind a tiny narrowboat for protection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook is on south side, Howden Dyke is on north side. I think this is the island they are warning you about. This isn't local river knowledge as I've only done Naburn to Barmby Barrage, but I do have a lot of relatives in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) That's the place. I've done it twice the other way - got it wrong first time and was lucky to get over the sand bar. The channel under Boothferry Bridge is over on the left (going down) so you need to start moving right as you pass the M62 bridge (from memory either arch). When the tide is up it's a very wide expanse of water but probably easier to cock it up when going upstream than it is going down. There were a lot of boils on the up tide on the apex of the corner opposite Howden Dyke but don't know how the ebb affects it. There's quite a flow so I would suggest you avoid a big spring tide. PS I'm sure you already know that you'll be on port authority water so you need VHF and minimum two people on board.

There is Blacktoft Jerry further downstream but it will mean going past Goole to come back again. Believe there used to be a charge for using it as well. Not sure if there still is.

Momac Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 There is a chart for the Ouse showing the channel . I guess you can buy it at Naburn Marina ? http://www.kildalemarine.co.uk/product/the-boating-association-ouse-chart Going in at Selby and then via the canals is the more cautious route if your boat is able to pass unde the rather low bridges on the Selby Canal. Ships are given priority at Goole and the tide runs fast . I have exited Goole and doing 4 knots forwards and pointing downstream have been going backwards over the ground due to the incoming tide. This was not an issue as I had 170hp available in 2.5Tonne boat so pushing the control forwards dealt nicely with that little issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their still is and it has cameras as well ? we went past the dock and ran it aground until the dock was ready [about 2 hours late as it happens] what about the old river? is anything suitable to tie up there?
