Pilotage help...

Just thought I would look back at the weather in March 2018...

"March began with an exceptionally cold easterly airstream, which brought widespread snow with daytime temperatures staying below freezing in many parts of the country. It then turned milder and generally wet until mid-month, then on the 17th/18th another exceptionally cold easterly brought further snow, especially for the north-east and south-west. After a few generally dry fine days, the unsettled pattern returned for the rest of the month, with low pressure dominating."

Chose your weather window carefully as a 2 m wave height will knock your fuel range right down. And use the tide.

Padstow Harbour Commissioners can be reached on 01841532239. As mentioned by everyone and as you will know it is extremely tidal and you will need to check the tide times and more importantly when the lock to the inner harbour closes. Depending on the type of tide at the time you may be able to tie up outside the inner harbour draft wise but I seriously doubt they would let you do this. The channel into Padstow should be doable for you at any tide but getting in to the harbour is the critical bit.

ps you probably want to avoid the doombar at the entrance to the estuary if you arrive at mid to low tide. The beer is a better experience
