hour, but I was sleepy!

Are you now saying that you planned your entry to coincide with slack
water?

No friggin way and you'll not make that stick!

Yikes! Calm down. I've never seen you respond like that before!


We cooked steak and fish and
THAT determined the length of our wait.

8 minutes, huh? ... I don't think so!!!


You were scared to enter P. Jeff at half tide. I don't blame you. As a
complete beginner, you probably didn't understand that it was NEAPS!! The
flow was probably only about 1.25kts.

Yes, Bob "One and a quarter knots". In other words - "sod all" current,
and a very easy entrance.

By waiting for slack water, you demonstrated admirable caution in the face
of unchallenging circumstances. Trans(for Oz).... "Chicken"!

Bwaaak, Bwaaaak, Bwaaaak!
