What are you going in. Dont forget to miss the rocks and overfalls. But expect no overfalls to wory about if your weather forcast is any good.
Good luck.

Haydn you've aged about 30 years and must have taken too many ugly pills, I suppose tuts is to blame!!

Yes come on Clive tell us what you're delivering and where you're leaving from (and how many extra volunteers you need!!).

Re: Lymington/Guernsey

We're leaving Lymington at 9am in a Predator 56, just joking its an Aqua Bell 33
flybridge fishing thingy. Should reach Guernsey around slack if we can average
about 17-18 knts. Anyone know of these boats ?

Re: Lymington/Guernsey

!7 or 18 kts may be pushing it, all depends on engine(s) size.

 

[hlb]

Yes John. I was undecided which one to use. Mind you I could use the other one!!

No. It's a picture of a right old dog!!
Cant see you doing 18 knots, but maybe you know better.
You should have no trouble going to Guernsey for the first time as long as visability is ok. Just make sure you dont get lost!!

Apparantly its a single 300hp visibility forcast good, just as well cos it ain't got radar

Oh well may be it will do 18 knots then.
Have fun.

Single 300hp

With that engine I'd have thought 15 - 16 kts cruising (assuming a clean hull) would be more realistic.

Let us know how you get on.
