Notes

Re Mouth Observation: Flow Direction was recorded as "Both in and out".
South side sand undercut by 73cm.
Depth gauge too muddy to read at low levels; it was at about 0.50m at 13.25.
EP4 photos not taken because incoming tide was hitting rocks in front of EP4 and splashing up.
Could find only three photos for this date on Ulric's memory card - one for each of Ep1, Ep2 and Ep3.
