As we say goodbye to summer 2024 (a rather mixed experience!) we enter September and a new training season for watchkeepers. This month there is no news. Well, that’s never quite true but this month we have produced a newsletter for our watchkeepers only. Look out for our October PQ News in a few weeks’ time.

A week or so ago we had a delegation of locals come to visit the Lookout. They were very impressed with what they say but managed in the process to completely squash our dog water bowl. A new one has been supplied.

We have now added an additional free service (courtesy of tides.today and UK Hydrographic Office). Tide table information is Crown Copyright and is provided here with permission.

Our July News is here, with information about the forthcoming 30th Anniversary celebration event in Salcombe on July 9, our latest incident report, and a sneak preview of the Salcombe Field of Light coming to Salcombe later this year.

You’re most welcome to join us around 10.00 on July 9 as we send the specially-commissioned NCI 30 Flag on its journey east, courtesy of our friends at Britannia Royal Naval College. Check out the newsletter for more information.

The NCI 30th Anniversary Flag is now passing through Wales, heading inexorably South on its way around the coast. Expected to reach us from Rame Head NCI on July 8 ready for redeployment to Froward Point NCI courtesy of Britannia Royal Naval College. We depart Normandy Pontoon at Whitestrand in Salcombe on July 9. Follow this for more details.

Here it is at Llandudno NCI.
