So who does have the local tide tables? is there some time-warp when crossing into Cornish waters

The times I posted were from Reeds Almanac (assuming I read it correctly) and are Plymouth -0010.

What we need is a date where high water is somewhere around 13/1400.

This will allow us to launch, get over to Looe and get back with enough water for an easy recovery.

Looks like the Easter weekend may be out. Is there a good weekend some where around then or does the first May bank holiday fit?

Can some one who can be trusted with a table take a look, Google is not my friend on tables

[peterthelight]

Here we go again, Andy. Same as last year!

Tides for Looe around lunch time on a weekend are few and far between.

None for March, same for April but Sat 5th May, HW Looe is around 1500hrs BST, next date is Sat 24th May with an identical time.

Hopefully it will happen this year, will watch for your post.

I know - I shouldn't be allowed out without a tide table

May the 10th seems to show a 1530 Plymouth - Free 2014 tide tables and tidal flow atlases : from Visit My Harbour which would give Looe a high at 1510 ish.

How does this date sound - we found last year that low tide doesn't work too well in the area.

I make the 5th May a Monday??

If it's a normal weekend not a bank holiday. I could prob make it too! :-)

The tenth of May is a normal weekend

Does that work. For others?

Good for me, I am on call but it won't take me that long to get to Salcombe

Hi Andy

Sorry for late reply, been AWOL, and also sorry for the sat 5th May mistake.

10th May is good for me, count me in.

If we post again nearer the time hopefully we should get a few more.

Oh, something has just cropped up for that w/end. Not sure what it is yet, but I'll think of something.

[treerat]

Looks like we have a plan then

Now to watch the weather......................

Hopefully the new visitors pontoon will be installed by Easter so plenty of room to tie up, it should give 4hrs either side of high tide with wheel chair access etc.

Ideal - so we can arrive at 1300 ish on the 10th May for a 1500 hw and get in fine.

Tea and coffee at yours still on offer??
