Waiting for the Tide

This week I have a spot the difference for a change.There are 20 differences between the two pictures, from the relatively obvious to the decidedly subtle. I’m tempted to suggest that I kept the picture of a boat moored off the sands in Langstone Harbour on a nice summer day to a time when the weather wasn’t so good and everyone didn’t have quite the same frustration at not being able to get out on the water, but if I’m honest it is pure coincidence.

As before, I have attached two sheets for last weeks wordsearch. One is the words, in case you want to find any you didn’t find with the advantage of knowing what you are looking for. The other has the answers on.

Before I finish I will add a quick thank you to my wife and son (Dawn and Aaron) for doing the photo editing for me this week – I won’t take the credit!

As ever, feel free to drop me an email at this address if you feeling isolated and cut off from the world. It is always nice to hear from members, and any ideas of things to do would be most welcome.

Stay safe.

Useful Links

I thought it worth continuing to include a few useful links here as a handy place to find them if you haven’t already got them bookmarked:

• Government information on Coronavirus: https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus
• NHS information on Coronavirus: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/
• RYA information on Coronovirus: https://www.rya.org.uk/knowledge-advice/current-affairs/Pages/coronavirus-covid-19.aspx

It is probably also worth noting:

• Langstone Harbour Board office is closed and they are working on limited capacity with minimal staff at the moment: http://www.langstoneharbour.org.uk/
• National Coastwatch has had to close their NCI stations: https://www.nci.org.uk/content/nci-stations-close-due-coronavirus-concerns
• RNLI stations are open, but they are hoping people stay at home* as per Government guidance; there is always the possibility that they are unable to field a full crew due to Coronovirus, so this staying at home would seem a wise option: https://rnli.org/
• Getting on the water is being actively discouraged, notably in Portsmouth Harbour: https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/health/coronavirus/coronavirus-ministry-defence-police-stop-sailors-water-portsmouth-harbour-amid-covid-19-lockdown-2521619
