Right shoot999.  So now you've got the place, what are the islets called?  In passing the photo was taken from the Saxon Shore Way, that's what the sign is for.

Further along the Swale is Harty Island?

Coming into the Swale from the  West you go upstream to Milton Creek so the red buoys are on the left (port side).  Coming into the Swale from the East you also go upstream to Milton Creek. So again the red buoys are on the left(port side). Therefore the buoys switch sides at the entrance to Milton Creek?

Keith, you're so nearly there.  The view is from the south of the Swale.  Keep thinking about Milton, you were right about the buoyage reversing, but it was nothing to do with how busy a port is.  All we need is the name of the islands.

The Swale near Conyer Creek.  Sea bed is privately owned - are the buoys related to that,  Oyster beds?

There are so many named marshes on the map so what side of what river or creek am  I on and which way am I looking?


I used to know it around here when 19 yrs old as my neighbour was a skipper on a coastal and continental barge I worked for him for quite a while after my apprenticeship in 1967 and this was the buoyage rules around Milton Port etc.

No, but the right river this time.
I've just noticed you comment on the buoyage, you're very nearly right.

 ;D Beyond the strip of water (and the mud flats) you can see grass which marks out permanent islands.  They're the ones you are looking for.

I've always known them as mudflats or there may be a posh words like salt marshes?
Depending if a certain port is a busy one the buoyage can be reversed if boats arrive from the East or West as an example?

Some low lying islands, what are they called?  Bonus if anyone can say what is uncommon about the buoyage hereabouts.
