Hi - I just hoped if anyone could check/offer advice for our planned daysail tomorrow where we want to passage through the Swellies (SW to NE) in the morning at Low Water Neaps, then come back in the evening at HW Neaps
Our draft is just 90cm and have a 6hp outboard petrol - so we really don't want to get the timings wrong etc
I've seen various timings for High Water slack, but we're not as sure when it comes to Low
We did manage this (once) last year following the wonderful Mike's (of Sailing Cos I Luv It) couple of excellent videos, and he suggested going through at 4hours after Liverpool High Water (for the Low Water Neaps passage)

Looking at the tide tables, with DST Liverpool HW is 0603
So would about 10am be ok to try this ?
for the return journey (from Menai Bridge through towards Caernarfon) we planning to come back 2hours before LHW (1856 DST approx 7pm), so returning through the Swellies at 5pm - again just hoping this sounds correct?
Many thanks for any checks/advice (as its def not something I want to get wrong)
