Ransome does not make that sort of mistake!

HWF&C at Harwich is around 12.00 GMT so with Low Water at around 8 am we can see that we are at the top of Springs.

Jim Brading anchors the "Goblin" on the Shelf, which is very shallow, at around Low Water, intending to be gone for an hour or at most two, so he veers a short scope, as he does not want to make unnecessary work for himself. She is probably in around six to eight feet of water when he anchors. If he has veered five fathoms, which is what I have often done in those circumstances, he is at a good 3:1 scope at Low Water but at High Water, allowing for the Goblin's freeboard, he is nearer 2:1.

The ebb runs harder than the flood so she drags on the ebb.
