Members of the crew float on the last of the ebb

Members of the Littlehampton Lifeboat crew float on the last of the ebb, which is still fast on the River Arun, from Fisherman’s Quay down to the harbour entrance. At low water on big spring tides, there is very little water over the bar at the harbour entrance, and it shifts, so it is useful to be aware of how it lies currently for those occasions when we have low water calls.
