Not for this weekend obviously, but when passing the entrance to the Marina please note.... that the dredger working in the marina, or to be exact, its soil hopper barge has knocked our very own 'Northney' Pile over and its now horizontal, with an isolated danger mark strapped to it, ( 2 black vertical balls ) . I should think it is underwater at high tide, so best to give our normal turning area at the exit from the marina a wide berth. Quite impressive really given the size of the pile, but then Split 3 is also large and unwieldy..
