Titchmarsh or Shotley on Friday night?

[MoodySabre]

Leaving Bradwell on or a bit after HW will bring me to Pye End buoy at LW. Being very Springs I don't think there's enough water for me to get in (drawing 1.7m) until at least 2 hours after LW. So should I go later and push the tide at the end and not get into Titchmarsh until nearly 2200 and eat too late or should I use all the tide and go to Shotley by 1930 and have a pint with Doug before a civilised meal?

Oh, I think I just worked that out /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I know, some cheap skates will say go to Halfpenny Pier but I don't fancy that on my own first time.

See you Friday Doug and anyone else.

Shotley is a very easy lock for a single hander...... does that help justify your obviously sensible decision?... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

PS.... we'll probably head for the backwaters Friday night unless the weather is pants....

Is this the site you're getting your barometric pressure from ? Sent to me last night along with a load of other very useful weather info sites

I've done the lock on my own so feel happy about that. One night at anchor is enough for starters - I shall shout for some help when I get there. 6 short blasts means "I don't what the f.... I'm doing" - doesn't it /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You're only going so that you can get breakfast cooked ready for Jim at 0600 aren't you?

[/ QUOTE ]Nope...... that is best demonstrated by anchoring about 10 feet from another boat, and then putting every nav light you own on.... that should do it.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks for the advice Neil, I'll try that on Sat near a big white boat called ........

......Full Circle?

Don't try it near a small blue boat called Sirenia.
There will not be much water around her.

We intend to walk ashore for the BBQ.

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Clive, there might be that many boats there that its possible from the middle of the Twizzle!

We may well end up in Shotley Friday night depending on what time we get there..... if its late then we leave departing until Sat mornining.... won't be early enough to join you for grub if we stop, but may well wander over for a pint.....
