Flood gates tested before the equinox tides
The gates protect the lower town from the spring tides of September and March. This year's drill was the first with the new volunteer team, and the stiff hinge on the west gate has been greased.
The highest tide of the month is on the twenty-first, early in the morning.
A demonstration: Saltmarsh and its Ledger are invented. Built by plinth from EDN and Markdown; the front's further pages are real pages and are also pulled in place where scripts run, and a click from the front to a story and back swaps the page in place, every address still a real page.
