Up the creek

 



Another grey day, but the wind was mostly below 10 knots, northerly, which was good for trying my luck with finding a way into Kororoit Creek.  Tide was about 0.7m, and I found a way with at least 0.2 m at the minimum.  

There are a many weird marks out there, some I think put there to lead unwary strangers into the muck.

My way seemed to dodge most of the rocks and lurking obstructions.  Head for the gas pipe light, leave it to starboard if coming from the west.  

Head for the white pipe with red reflector, about 36 degrees M


Leave to port, a couple of rocks between it and the pole with the traffic cone on top. 


Turn slightly to port, heading round 4 degrees M, towards tilting white pole with bands around top.


Turn a few degrees to port, head for rusty pipe with notch




Now head towards the tank visible between break in shrubs.  Two large tyres vertical in water.  Bearing about 350 T, due north magnetic.  Watch out for tyre barrier to port, one outlier just below the surface, and the row seems to continue out, maybe with concrete poured inside them.   Once you can see along the creek, turn more to port.
