The latest forecast to come from weatherweb.net (I have subscribed to their weekly e-mail which is excellent), is predicting W/WNW 18-25knots for Saturday.
As the tide is higher than MHWS, would I be sensible to avoid going out through the Needles channel on the ebb?
Will the North Channel be OK? We would have to go through Hurst Narrows either way.
I will have a crew of 4 chaps, 2 of which have not sailed before.
I know that I am the skipper and have to make my own decisions - but I am still willing to listen to the views of others.
(PS My post was made at the same time as simonjk's by complete coincidence - honest!)
