Did post this earlier on the East Coast Forum but did not get any replies so trying here.
My son and a mate are bringing mate's Westerly Discuss (33ft) back from Holland on Saturday. Weather forcast per Windfinder is OK but winds starts off westerly and then moves round south, maybe SW.
They will leave around 0200, it is 110 miles and boat will do at least 5.5 knots into wind and tide. I suspect they will head a bit south so they are not going directly into wind and waves. The approach to Harwich will be around 0000hrs and wind is forcast SW and tide will be flooding South.
Which route is best into Harwich? I would assume N.Galloper, S. Inner Gabbard, S Shipwash and follow the chanel in?
Any comments or tips are welcomed. Thanks.
