drying out this sunday for AF, 5th october near brightlingsea

hi,

second beach st osyth or possibly stone point if i can be convinced of flatish sand for AF

yes i know AF wont dry in the period below, but that has never been a problem, seems to stick / work just as well when i float off with the AF still 'wet'

low tide 16:20

will be there 2 hours before, i need a tide drop of at least 1m, anyone know if that is going to happen ?

i need to leave 18:30 latest as i dont like to motor through the pyefleet moorings in the dark

any suggestions welcome

In theory, using 12 ths it looks as though 1.0M drop would be achieved exactly two hours before LW and floating off slightly under two hours after - but wind and pressure weather conditions beforehand will also have an influence on heights as well as quality of 'marine twilight',so not a lot of margin.
