But Bob... that's what I said all along... that you don't have a grasp of
the fundamentals of navigation.

Bwahahahahahahaaa!

The batteries, Bob. Tell us about the batteries.

Did you lose them, or did you forget to buy them?

Both. And yet there were "new" batteries on board of such a cheap variety that
the GPS would only last 30 minutes w/light on a set. They were Panasonics, 4
for a dollar!

Uh-huh. So..., how many amps does this GPS draw?

I thought I'd throw it overboard because with it's light on it was eating
batteries. But it was clearly the batteries themselves. I grabbed a half dead
pair of Energizers from my spare GPS (A very old Garmin 38) and they powered
the Garmin Map76 for the rest of the trip.

Flip flop, flip flop, flip flop...the sound of Mooron on deck...and then he
asks..."have you completely lost your ability to troll???"

Maybe! Maybe not!

See.... now that's what I mean... you've prematurely claimed some victory
when you ain't got the fish anywhere near the boat and the only thing
holding you in the chair... other than Ozzy on your lap... is the fact the
pair of you have been dunked so often... I'm allowing you to dry out the
prune wrinkles on your butt.

Bob,

I would appreciate it if you could translate the above into English.


It seems to suggest that you were backed into a corner, and that you tried
(unsuccessfully) to bluff your way out!

Since Booby seems unable to answer this basic question, I'll do my best with the limited
info and resources I have at hand. I believe the time of ALien's entrance was 2AM on
Saturday, August 23. Low water was 35 minutes later, at 2:35AM. I think the current
corresponds closely to the tide height here, so ALien entered at the end of the Ebb. Had
she entered as had been planned, at 1:30, it would have been more than an hour before low.
I don't know how strong the current was that day, or the profile of the current at that
site, but the Ebb could have been as strong as 1.5 knots in the channel. Had they arrived
45 minutes earlier than planned they might have had a 2.5 knot ebb.

Booby also doesn't recall the wind direction - had it been strong from the NW this would
have been a very sloppy endeavor.

I find it very disappointing that these basic parameters were not worked out in advance,
and etched well into RB's memory.

That might explain why he stopped to eat??? If they had arrived 2 hours
earlier then the current flowing out of the harbour would have been at it's
maximum.

So, Bob might be just pretending to know nothing about navigation.

I'll never understand why people can't just enjoy something and not try to
unwind it.
Avoiding the max current was a good idea though, we should have waited another
hour, but I was sleepy!

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

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!

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.

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.

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!
