rich Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 Managed to get Anita up (reasonably) early and set of from Cobbs in glorious sunshine for a day out on Warren. We got as far as the lifeboat station only to find a marine exclusion zone in place 100 meters either side of the new bridge construction.... and it was'nt only us that was caught out! PLEASE NOTE The Blackwater channel is closed from 0800 - 1800hrs today, Thursday 14th July. It is also going to be closed on Monday the 18th July and Wednesday 20th July for the same time period. I would advise you checking the PHC website for conformation. I was under the impression that the channel would be kept open for shipping throughout the bridge construction. Rich Quote
Graham Nash Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 surely Cobbs should have known that and maybe informed it's customers?? Quote
silverfish Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 I did the same, I knew there was going to be a couple of days when it would be closed, but probably saw it was a week day when I looked at the notice and didnt take it in as I rarely get the chance to go out mid week, only problem was that I decided to take the day off and the chance of it being closed didnt really register, until it was too late. I would have expected something to be up at Cobbs but I didnt noticed anything about it. I picked up a buoy for half an hour for a cup of tea before heading back in and there were at least 6 other boats all trying to get out only to be dissappointed an turned back, so we werent the only ones.

Wight Magic Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 There were some sighns up in the shower block which i had seen at the weekend Dave Quote
AHoy Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 CQ Berth Holders received an email a week or more ago detailing the closures. I would have expected more conspicuous notices at the marina though. It registered with me as I was planning a trip to Cobbs. Quote
wotu2uk Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 I am CQ berthholder, no email. Only heard about it in conversation, as I was going out today John Quote
Leicester Fisheagle Posted July 16, 2011 Report Posted July 16, 2011 No e-mail but glad to know about it. Was starting to look at Wednesday for a possible weather slot but due to closure could be cancelled. Quote
