Indeed, but since it was in the section that I would say was extremely shallow (nearly too shallow), and could only make a maximum of 3 mph, and after passing a bridge slows you down to less than 2 mph. I'll have to look at the GPS log, but I was going really very slowly when it happened - perhaps too slowly. I think BW really need to think about dredging that section. There is a dredging dump area along there, and towards the junction it was deeper (made about 3.5 mph), so I think the same work needs to be done along the shallow section.
