Notes

We were unable to read water level gauge - too dirty.
Bp1 and Bp2 still to be redefined after bridge works
Tide condition probably "slack", but the effect of the northerly wind on the surface of water made the flow appear to be "outward".
We were surprised that the wind strength was greater at Bp3 (sea level), than at Bp4 (top of the Bluff). Our wind observations were recorded for Bp4 (as usual).
