I'm hoping to anchor up the Pyfleet tomorrow night, then back to the Crouch via the Ray Sand Channel on Thursday morning. I've never done the Ray Sand before.
Can anyone tell me where to go in, where to come out, what the heading across is and finally, does it really save any time given that I'll have to punch the tide to get out of the Pyfleet to the Raysand at half tide when I could leave an hour or two earlier and go out through the Spitway and back? I need to be at the mouth of the Crouch for about two hours before high water to give me time to get back to my mooring.
Boat is a Sadler 29, draws just over a meter and I have a GPS but not a chart plotter. Oh, and I'll be single handed. Not that that makes any difference.
