Notes
Please note there were very high winds and stormy conditions and yet the Beaufort scale table on the data sheet's B.No 1, only went up to 5 (Fresh Breeze) so when I came to enter the data into Estuary Watch and I noticed the Beaufort Scale allowed for more severe conditions I up graded the scale. So please be aware that scanned sheet will not truly reflect either B Scale or Sea State readings.
Can I suggest that when the Data Sheet is updated next time both Table 1 and 2 be adjusted? At the same time Photopoint Site table needs to include at least another line as there are more than 2 sites on the Erskine River.
Allow please note that I am still unsure whether I am entering the correct times for the High and Low Tides - perhaps we could talk about that when we next catch up?
