I reviewed these notes in June 2022. No changes apart from the fact that Spurn Head is now cut off from the mainland at High water.

The Spurn spit is no longer connected to the "main land" by road. The spit is now washed over at high water and is gradually becoming an island.

The RNLI still maintain their only permanently manned lifeboat at Spurn and it is moored close to the yacht anchorage, perhaps a comfort for some.

The pilot boats still use the jetty from time to time and the "yacht buoy" is still available, those who moor to it say use a long warp to avoid bumping as the tide turns.

No changes

I reviewed these notes in April 2019. I've added the Humber VTS telephone number and replaced the charts. I've also checked that there is still a small yacht buoy there.

These notes were reviewed by Don in March 2017. have added up-to-date charts but no other changes

For the perfectionists. Following replacement of the Tetney Pipe Line the updated Monobuoy Posn.

Hawkins Point.

If wind from the NW to NE you may prefer to anchor close in to Hawkins Point for a quieter anchorage than off the Spurn Pilot Jetty.

If you require the flood to go up River. Bestt leave this location LW Immingham + 1 hour. The ebb runs for about 45 mins. after "book" LW Immingham.

Regarding the anchorage used by a few local boats inside Whitton Island, between Brough and Market Weighton Locks. On spring spring tides a bore tide can occur. I've experienced such when the tidal range at Blacktoft is in the region of 6.0m. The height of the incoming tide is not as per the larger one experienced on the Trent. But the speed and sound of it's approach can be impressive. Best ensure you're anchor gear's reliable if intending to anchor in this area. I've gone from sat on the mud heading in to afloat heading out and gear at full stretch in seconds.

For info. There's a 500m exclusion zone around the SBM.
Oil tankers discharging on the SBM will be in the region of 245m loa. With a tug made fast aft throughout his stay. The tug and his towing gear stretched will be another 50m+.
