Anmaropa Buoy – Re-established
Mariners are advised the navigation buoy on the sunken vessel Anmaropa at the St Helens Bar has been re-established. A copy of the email advice from Marine and Safety Tasmania (MaST) is featured below.
It is timely to remind sea farers the conditions on the barway are changed since the recent weather events. Members undertook a survey of the bar Saturday, 22nd July 2016. It was noted the depth profile across the bar is significantly changed. Additionally, Pelican Point is clearly marked and it too has a changed profile. A skipper’s knowledge of tide and weather conditions are paramount in negotiating a safe passage across the Bar and Pelican Point.
If masters/skippers are contemplating entry into Georges Bay and are unsure, please do not hesitate to contact St Helens Marine Rescue for advice and or assistance. We are available on email at sthelensrescue@bigpond.com or 0408 817 359. Our radio room operates from 0750 hours – 1210 hours weekdays, 0750hours – 1710 hours weekends and public holidays as advised in our previous post.
