The skipper who gave you the warning was trying to do you a favour - warning you of a hazard ahead. What you do with this advice is up to you of course. You're reasoning about sailing to Langstone and keeping out of the main shipping areas is spot on and if it was me I would have carried on. BUT and there's always a but, when I'm sailing with a crew I always have one experienced crew with me who I can trust to take over. If I was with 2 very nervous crew I might have thought twice about carrying on for the simple reason that I wouldn't have enjoyed it with a couple of flappers on board.
