It's That Arm Again.


But.......What is it now?

Many, many moons ago before this was built I used to own and run a commercial fishing boat from Whistable - or Whitstabubble as the infamous advert for the chocolate bar Aero called it - and one day I picked up a job to do the tidal survey for this arm.

This was a two week contract through the council of back then and a Dutch survey firm.

The whole project was to build a breakwater arm to protect the town when the gales arrived and would be funded more or less entirely by the government.
Provided......that this was not to build a harbour for the towns benefit but as a serious sea defence.

Any mention of this being a harbour and the funding would melt away, so keep it under your hat for now, Are your crew ok with this?  says the men  in black  from the council.

It's amazing what time and a few changes to those in charge can make isn't it.

You can't quite see the government trying to get it's money back now can you?

Sorry mate this is existing, on yer bike.




Until next time..........................
