The substantial 50 foot converted trawler, Tavana, which sank among the moorings at Harty (near the scrubbing posts) on the Swale last year is now marked with only one yellow buoy, which we presume is near the bow of the vessel. At high water, only the slender tip of the taller antenna is visible. Peel Ports have confirmed that they have no plans to recover the vessel or mark it more effectively. Notice to Mariners No 3 of 2015 refers. Extreme care is advised.
UPDATE 28 April: Peel Ports have now placed more appropriate wreck buoyage, including a cardinal mark, with assistance from Medway Pilots. A NtM will be published tomorrow.
UPDATE 1 June: The missing topmark on the new Uplees NCB has been replaced.
