If it has to be flat then don't go to Steepholm /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
The anchorage at Steepholm does odd things as the tide floods, with eddies and small standing waves, as the currents down each side of the island take turns coming round the end and over the spit. I only stopped to see what it was like, but if I was going to leave the boat I would lay out anchors fore and aft next time.

I was speaking to a guy from SARA on Saturday and he says he loves to take a rib to flatholm and watch the sun go down from the island.
I would be up for a trip over but I don't normally carry a tender. Maybe we could borrow your new one? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
