How did you get on with last weeks question?

My thoughts......

Add 1 hr because of British Summer Time (Tide table was June)

Tidal range 7.5m to 0.3 = 7.2m. then 7.5m to 0.3 = 7.2m

Minimum depth where we are will be 3.9m 

Draught 1.6m + safety of 2.0m = 3.6m  needed         

Minimum expected depth is 3.9m so we are OK where we are. 

Max expected depth is 7.5m 

7.5m x 4 = 30m chain to pay out 

If you managed to get all that - well done. 

 

Next weeks question on the way.
