Ships Blog 13th April 2018

Morning all, Friday the 13th unlucky for some perhaps. Folk lore says never set sail on a long passage on Friday 13th. Weather forecast looking a lot better over the next few days and into next week especially. We have lost the easterly air flow and subsequently the constant gloom of fog and mist is beginning to lift. Duty lock masters this weekend are Rob and Richard with Ben Parish returning to the fold doing some training as lock master over the weekend. Today’s tide forecast as follows:
