I saw it quoted in the Grimsby Telegraph, I’ll find the link but I’m sure it said another 2-3 tides (rather than hours) and she’d be gone
Ok, found it, headline says ‘Within hours’ but the text says
‘’Experienced mariners told GrimsbyLive the calm conditions on The River Humber had given an eagle-eyed crew member of a passing vessel the chance to identify a body in the river. And said he believed "another three or four tides" would have seen her lost into the North Sea.‘’
I’m guessing 2-3 tides would be 1.5? Days not hours.
How tragic Libby Squire was just hours away from being lost forever
I suspect that the subject of the searches off Paull was her, and it was bad luck they didn't find her then.
