Eastbourne Marina: High Tide Warning

I don’t want to panic anyone, but as the following video snippet shows, the tide in the outer harbour here at Eastbourne’s Sovereign Marina is very high.

In fact, I’ve been here ten years, and based on the ‘A’ test, this is the highest tide I’ve witnessed.

It’s just as well I like to live beside the seaside because with the stormy weather the past few days I thought I’d be in it.

With high tides and strong gales Eastbourne marina’s outer seawall breakwaters have been tested.

As the photo I took yesterday below shows, the waves were having a great time hitting the breakwaters…
