High tide today was supposed to be the highest tide for over 20 years. As a result I thought I would go into Topsham to have a look – I think though that much to the relief of the residents of the Strand it was an anti-climax. The Exe hardly had a ripple on it and although it was rather cold there was no driving wind up the estuary. Had there been it might have been rather a different story.
Here are the seats at the Topsham end of the Goat Walk – maybe not a place to sit this morning but hardly dramatic
Here are the same seats last Saturday at a much lower tide
Water lapping up to the Goat Walk – remember the Goat Walk was seriously damaged in last winter’s storms
Across the Exe to an unhappy boat
The Vigilant – currently being restored
This structure sits outside the Lighter – it look like it is of a maritime purpose but I’ve no idea what it is for.
The tides are lower tomorrow but it more stormy so there might be some problems down in Cornwall….
