Incidentally I've just noticed for the first time that the spine of the ECP says "Great Yarmouh to Ramsgate"
I suspect I'm not the first!

Ha! You're not the first but there haven't been many........but no prizes, I'm afraid.
There were some red faces at the publishers when it was first noticed, I can tell you.

We rpoof read the contents until blue in the face. We also see and approve the front and back covers.
But not the spine. We will next time!

Followed this thread with great interest. Loads of good advice - the YBW Forum at it's best.
Dolabriform, do report back post trip and tell us all how it all went.
Sail safe and best of luck.��
Currently at anchore in the Walton Backwaters, unblocking the bog - the other side of sailing!��

The extremely famous smack Boadicea has her home port carved into her transom in dialect - "COUCHESTER"

Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances I got stuck at Felixstowe Ferry and was unable to make the tide out on Saturday
I ended up going back up to Woodbridge, and then had a fun day sailing today.
Thanks to everyone for your kind help and words of encouragement, I now have a passage plan I'm itching to try!

when going out against the flood, keep inside on the ferry side well to the west in the moorings, x over by the ferry landing & go right close to the Bawsey beach keeping the groin markers to port, this keeps you out of the tide. Then as you get to the seaward end of Bawdsey gradually follow the e/s as you ease over to the Felixstowe side. This way you don't fight the main flood tide. The Bar is narrow but very straight forward i came out today @ 10.00 min depth under the keel 0.90 m, so 2.8m real depth HW was 13.00 ish .
try a day sail out & back to see how it goes
Pix last night @ Ramsholt

I had the privilege of meeting John on Saturday, lovely chap. And the ferry man is great, both times I've been there he has come alongside for a chat. Must buy him a beer!
