IOW TIDAL ATLAS

[philwebb]

Hi folks, Does anyone know of a detailed tidal stream atlas or chart for the Isle of Wight? It would ideally have more detail than the small chartlets in the PBO almanach
or the insets on the Stamfords Charts.

The Admiralty tidal stream atlases are good - try NP337 (The Solent and Adjacent Waters).

Two options

Personally I prefer the Admiralty one although I have used the other one.

Peter Bruces has to be the definitive work on the subject. Add to it <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1871680026/qid=1055171061/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_0_2/026-7416248-5626060>Solent Hazards and <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1871680360/qid=1055171162/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_0_2/026-7416248-5626060>Wight Hazards</A> and you have a nearly complete set of documentation.

The final piece of the jigsaw is also supplied by the same Author - <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1871680034/qid=1055171061/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_0_3/026-7416248-5626060>Solent Pubs and Restaurants</A>

So, now you know when the tide will serve, how to avoid all the obsttructions, and finally the better eateries. A complete cruising kit in fact!

Thanks everyone- I have ordered the Admiralty tidal stream atlas NP337.
Need this for Round the Island Race - our boat is not very fast so we need
every assistance we can get from the tide!
Regards, Phil
