You give boobie far too much credit - I think he was totally oblivious to the state of the
tide or the possibility of current.

Even though it was neaps, with a max ebb of 2.6, they might have had 2.0 knots. But the
real issue would have been the wind - if it was strong NW it would have been a problem.
RB still hasn't mentioned the wind direction.

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!
