We have received the following information from some visitors from Benfleet YC that visited over the weekend to attend the Three Tuns beer festival. Something to be aware of and maybe a challenge for someone….
We picked up a chain on our anchor at top of Stangate round corner in Bomb bay, approx centre of creek , managed to retrieve our anchor after a struggle plus someones lost anchor & chain.
So we got a 15kg bruce but had to leave a long length of 10mm galv chain, suspect it may have been caught on something. Broke my heart having to let it go!
I buoyed the end of the chain with an old white fender & it was afloat at half ebb, If one of your lot fancy lifting it!
Additional info: the marker float is submerged at high tide and is in position,
