We continue to update the website as usual all year round. And these days we also use our Facebook page to tell those of our readers who read social media - we used to use Twitter, now X, but the Facebook page has attracted a far bigger following, now with over 3,300 followers. But our website remains the ultimate and complete source of any new information - we encourage you to look at it regularly to see anything new.
Our next newsletter will probably be sent out around Easter time to announce the publication of updated chartlets for the Deben and Ore entrances. These chartlets are the result of a unique agreement brokered some years ago between Trinity House, Imrays and ourselves, and indeed we understand that these are the only minor river entrances surveyed by Trinity House on such a frequent basis. We sincerely hope that Trinity House will feel able to carry on with the arrangement into the future, it being of immense value to the leisure boating community. And of course Imrays, now 'FB Imray' since their merge with an Austrian mapping and charting company, will continue to support this.
We do welcome any news of changes in the area that we may not yet have heard about. It's easy to email us via the website (or PM me via Facebook) and you will always get a prompt reply.
And so it's back to our boat maintenance, and looking forward to some warmer and drier weather!
Kindest regards,
