Hurt your shoulder?

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Hurt your shoulder?

No... just my wallet!

 

[FullCircle]

whose wallet?

 

[sailorman]

I bet that was an experience ( sorry expense )

No... just my wallet!

 

[wingdiver]

Last time I was in the Raffles I had to pass the Singapore Sling over to SWMBO.
Tiger beer is more my thing and goes better with their Nasi Goreng too.

Getting in to Bradwell

Dopey question, but what depth there? Never been before for some reason. We draw 1.7m

Hi

High water on that Saturday is 14.11pm (5.24 meters - spring tide).
The channel is well marked, and if you "should" run out of water the mud is nice and soft!!

We draw 1.5 meters - and we comfortably make it up the channel 4 hours before HW!! (our all time best is 5 hours!!!) - just stay close to the cans and you can't go wrong.

From memory, I think there is a fab nav chart of Bradwell creek on East coast pilot.... I'll have a look if I can find it for you.

Regards

Ian

The tides just don't work for us from the Deben.
Would like to come but would need to beg a bed for the night.

Very welcome - in late 60's / early 70's they were marketed as 4 berth. Amazing really with 7'6" beam - still plenty of beer will help!!
