When I first saw this, I thought she was probably a range safety boat [I knew she wasn't a member of the RNLI fleet. although she bares a passing resemblance to a Dutch lifeboat design ... see the Poole festival of lifeboats ... www.ipernity.com/doc/312383/album/1363464 ]. She is, I think, something to do with the various windfarms in the Solway.

The high tide "waterfall" over the inner sea lock gate is creating a lot of "froth" - and clumps of this are being blown over into this corner of the harbour.

This morning's tide is very high, so part of the C2C sign is underwater.

There is an 8.3m high [spring] tide outside the sea lock, and a certain amount of seawater is allowed to overflow the gates - although the marina is already quite full with the rusty water. "Cracking" the outer gates open by a small amount at high tide is part of the usual process needed to "flush" the marina. Sadly the present pollution by mine waste water is largely preventing that.

There is an 8.3m high [spring] tide outside the sea lock, and a certain amount of seawater is allowed to overflow the gates - although the marina is already quite full with the rusty water. This is producing quite some froth, and the wind is blowing some of it across towards the Fish Quay.

The "froth" that is created at the sea lock - due to very high tide - has been blown across the harbour. Note also the "rusty" colour, due to untreated "mine water" entering via a small culverted beck - this has been happening since Nov 2022.
