I thought I saw a number of queries and comments on the tide, all unanswered. Given that
the current in the channel can be over 2.5 knots, I would think you would remember whether it was ebb or flood. In fact, you should have determined this before commiting to this destination. Further, the combination with the wind can be especially nasty, but I don't remember you mentioning the wind direction. It sure is nice that Suzy can navigate her boat; it seems that when you borrow it, you bounce off rocks!

The state of the tide and prevailing winds are a factor when entering Port Jeff. Note that Billy Jane has yet to mention this. RB |

Bob... the prevailing winds and tide are a factor when entering any "Port". I just thought you should know that... ;-) CM |

Actually I already mentioned it, Nope, you didn't. When did you mention wind direction. Repost it. RB |

I just thought you should know that... ;-) They are a factor, but not always an important one. Sorry. RB |

Right Oz.... of what consequence is wind and tides when sailing or anchoring. CM When ENTERING DEEPWATER PORTS the prevailing wind and tide is of little relevance to a yacht. I sail out of Portsmouth, which should qualify as a "deepwater" port. The wind and tide are fairly important. It can get very messy on a spring ebb if there is a bit more "south" in the wind than usual. In a F4, you can go from fairly calm water to very rough in a couple of boatlengths. Good fun if you're goose winging!! Regards Donal -- |

Ozzy would be too busy adjusting his gay Greek Fisherman's cap to a jaunty angle while counting the cash in his wallet for all the crew to see. He doesn't "do" navigation...... or sailing for that matter. He buys the boats to match his hat... he's rich you know! Bwahahahahahahahahaaaaaa!! CM |

I also believe that he owns them outright! No mortgage, or other borrowings. How does an ex-copper do that? Regards Donal -- |
