Hamble river escape

Shouldn't that be -

It's ALWAYS hard enough filtering the responses to a thread when you've been on the forum for a while

I did start a thread once which got informative and succinct responses which kept to the point. Not sure I could find it if asked for proof. Anyway, I can't really complain as I'm sure I'm as bad as everyone else.
 
Hi Everybody

Thanks for all reply's. They are really helpful. Seems like i should work out fine. I am planning to do the trip home in June.
Though i got so much good response this I will start a new thread asking you guys for tips about sailing from The Solent to The Kiel kanal.
Please read that and see if you got any input.

Again, thanks a lot for all reply's.

Kind Regards

I'm amazed, I never realised that the Hamble was such a scary place. It seemed so nice the times we've been there.

Follow Ianat182's advice and you'll be just fine. If you are leaving from Deacon's I'd leave at low water (make sure you're on one of their mid river berths) so you can head down the river and, following the obvious buoyage, emerge into Southampton water.

Make sure you have enough water to get between Black Jack buoy and the north channel and the tide will help you east. This is a lovely place to sail so don't let the doomsayers make you worry :-)

Keep going through Solent and either through the small boat channel or between the Spitbank/Horse Sand forts and you're off, next stop the Looe channel south of Selsey. Make sure you do really go through the markers rather than near them...

Next stop Brighton.

Have a great sail back home and if you see a late, very shiny and good condition, re-engined Albin Vega in excellent condition for sale when you get back please let me know.

Thanks for the advice.
