Trip to Brighton

[andrewa]

I am taking the family on our first trip outside the Solent this weekend for a family get together in Brighton. I have done a brief passage plan from Chichester to Brighton and have 4 waypoints I am going to use. Looking at the chart the trip doesn't appear complicated however I understand there are fishing pots around Selsey could anyone advise what the best route is around these and any other points of note.

Calm day or wind with tide, Looe Passage (watch those potmarkers) otherwise outside.

Re: Trip to Brighton - Don\'t do it

You are aware that your trip is a fallacy.

There is no 'outside the Solent' it doesn't exist. You are heading for the edge of the world and will fall off.

Think about it, when a boat leaves the Solent, have you ever seen it come back. I know you can hear boats on the radio, but if you watched the news Steven Hawking had just revealed a new belief system about black holes.

Its a nice trip, just aim to be at Selsey Bill at slack tide if you can, then tide with you; if you can, makes it a good and shorter time wise trip, have fun./forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Thanks for your inputs, I am planning on leaving the marina about an hour before high water so hopefully will have a good run. I have prepared as much as I can for our first non Solent trip and will do final engine checks in the morning. Have a good weekend all of you will report back on Monday if I haven't fallen off the edge of world!
