Great boat and glorious boating day, congrats!
Just a small warning, 'cause from the pic below I guess nobody told you that for the first 10 hours of operation it's strictly forbidden to use more than 50% throttle, at risk of damaging the engines... :eek:

...only joking, sorry, couldn't resist! :D
 
Brilliant, jonnybuoy. She's lovely and I hope you enjoy every minute with her. Regarding the drying bank, on the official Admiralty chart I have which admittedly is a couple of years out of date, the Shingles Bank covers a larger area than what you normally see as the drying areas at LWS but on the chart, the minimum depths in the area where you saw this particular drying bank are given as 0-0.6m. So I reckon this is a new drying bank that has formed over the winter and quite a lump it is too. Someome will be along in a minute to to tell us its due to global warming caused by CO2 emissions from motorboats:)
Your Garmin cartography is therefore probably correct but as the note says on the Admiralty chart, depths over the Shingles frequently change

Excellent, wonderful boat, looks like you had a great day, bet you remember it for a long time. I'll remember the boat name, so when we're in Poole we'll keep an eye out for you and claim a free beer!

You would be most welcome - as indeed would anyone else!

JFM - I haven't chosen a tender yet, will get round to that in the next few weeks.

STEVEDUNSTABLE - yes that is an excellent idea and I was also thinking about mandatory gloves for small children with the inevitable grubby/sticky hands!

Deleted User - the fact those sandbanks can move around/change height certainly reinforces a "note to self" to stay well clear of all the shallow bits particularly in that neck of the solent

That bank could catch out the unwary but in actual fact, most boats using the Needles channel to cruise westwards would not turn to the west until the last red buoy marking the SW end of the Shingles had passed in which case they'd still be safe. Certainly thats what I did and vice versa coming back
