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!

There's a channel heer where sometimes it's safer to go thru backwards
using the engine to push against the rip and provide steerage as you

That's nothing, near Whitestone, there's an entrance into a small marina where
you have to yodel to get through. Doesn't make much sense, but you have to do
it.

Not from where you sit.....I hear a rare steak will help the bruise.

You really should develop a sense of humor. You are a woeful sidekick for
Boobs.

Bwaaaahahaahahhahahahahahaaa!
A little slap to the head and he gets all sooky.
Bwaaahahahahahahhahahahahaaa! my sense of humour is doing fine.
Bwaaaaahahaaaaaa!

Yea just keep telling yourself that and type as many bwahahas as you can.
We'll all believe you sooner or later. It really is a little sad when someone
who just is by nature not funny tries as hard as you.

Yes, it was NW and there was a serious little sea built up outside the
entrance. I was sorry to drop sail there as the motion under power was pretty
sickening.
Ahh...but I had the fish and no greasy red meat!
