#10 you have definitely won turd prize for navigation there rob .....one legged crosseyed mary seswhen are you coming back and will you in the spirit of xmas bring her .....her best wooden leg and have you been to the ward 31 for the injection yet

I am hoping that a qualified navigator with a knowledge of cross channel turdal flows will confirm the theory

Ref post 10, No need for a navigator and tides Rob, the pipelines from PLUTO are still there on the seabed, quick manifold bolted on to the sewers, job done, KT

Wow Keith No Sheet ! We could save the Isle from Overlander's pollution and send it to a more deserving shore

None here (surprisingly ) but you'll find several on the Ship's Nostalgia site...

It always flowed east and west when I was dredging in the Channel in the 80s.
Maybe the frogs have got it running north only into England.
I dont have a chart of the English Channel, I have one of Morecambe Bay if that is any use.

It does switch directions off the Isle every few hours , but I don't know how localised that is , but if we apply the Morecambe Bay principle how long does it take all the crap in Ulverston to get to Fleetwood , I 'll multiply it by two , and then that will be teh time to hit Cherbourg from here

[Captain Kong]

Hi Rob The distance is exactly 10 miles across from Fleetwood to Ulverston. so as the mean tidal range is 10.3 meters, and the tidal flow inbetween Neaps and Springs average 2.3 knots, there is your answer.
or summat like.
Cheers

Gone a long way from Australian Visas haven't we ? lol

[Captain Kong]

It is Unbelievable how a thread gets distorted, starting with advice about Australian Visas and end up transporting sewage across Morecambe Bay.
I wonder if any Shrink could find answers to that.
I am baffled. Must blame Cappy for that.
