Newbies and The Wash

The Wash in good weather, a pussy cat. The Wash in bad weather, anything but.

It’s not called the Roaring Middle for nothing.

Most of my trips were from Boston to Denver (or reverse), which necessitated a stop over at sea to catch the tide.

I did Fosdyke to Ipswich in one a couple of times and when you arrive absolutely bushed you have the shipping to avoid. Lowestoft to Fosdyke in one usually means you have to anchor up to get the tide up the River. It's all about the timing.
It can seem a long time stuck out on the anchor in bad weather. I once ended up motoring against the current and staying stationary to hold station.

Thank you for your answer. Very helpful information!
