Drying hard standing

[billyfish]

Heading west from the solent next week, could do with a scrub, the old fashioned way ie brush. I have nice legs but it needs to be hard like itchenor hard. I'm now based in cowes so east from there preferably passed portland as I like getting over lyme bay then I feel "away"

Poole harbour ? South of brownsea island in blood alley or bramble bush bay in the harbour. Both reasonably level and firm but what is your draft ?
It's not past portland though !

Nest week is neaps so water all day and not enough range to dry out windfinder.com/forecast/arne_poole_harbour
Friday afternoon might give you an hour or so of 0.8m

I draw only a meter and I know blood alley but thought the whole of poole was mud mud and more mud but if I go in there I will check it out thank you

This claim is worth nothing without a photo.

It is (or was when I last tried it) hard sand. If you can find a clear patch where you touch just after second high you will get about 2 hours with over 0.5m hull exposed and the next high should float you off comfortably.

See. Disappointed are you.

Firm when I was in blood alley earlier this year. Quite happily walk ashore without getting stuck !
