Hopefully will make it under my own power if my new Toy arrives in time, gonna be delivered hopefully fingers crossed and customs permitting Friday....... what is it with me and customs!!!

I've just found a tide picture for the Saturday and Sunday.

Hope this comes out okay as it should hopefully give some idea of what the tide will be doing on Saturday.

Oh and its for Bembridge approaches so should be just about right for PRIORY Bay. If anyone says otherwise then I'll try and get the tide pics for a more suitable location if someone can point me in the right direction.

That's GMT isn't it? Laser's times are an hour later so I guess they're BST.

Nick,
If i read those charts right, does that mean we could beach at about 8pm Sat and have the boats dried out til about 6am Sunday?

that would work out quite well for those camping over!

Neil,

If you want the same state of tide it looks like if you beach at 2000 hrs you'll be floating off about 0400 hrs. Possibly you could beach earlier then you'd get to float off later.

I've sent a PM.

Nick.

Withr regards timings I use the 1 hour offset as stated below. Therefore I believe my timings are correct for Bembridge. Well as far as can be given that Priory bay doesn't have its own tide timings. Therefore both of our figures are estimated in one way or other. And should only be taken as a guide.

If their is a more accurate source than Easytide i'd like to keep the link.

Daylight Saving Warning: EasyTide predictions are based on the standard time of the country concerned. For the UK this is GMT and the daylight saving offset should be set to 1 hour to allow for British Summer time (from 01:00 am on Sunday 25th March 2007 until 02:00am on 28th October 2007).

By my calculations you are in real-time as well

Biggles · 02 July 2007, 20:39

Sarah,

I think so. But after it took me ten years to learn the difference between, Zulu time,(GMT;UT:UTC:WET) and Alpha time which is CET or GMT + 1 and Bravo Time which is EET or GMT +2. All too much for me at times.

So why can't all the civilian UK sites stick to real time and make it easy.

Nick.

Because we wouldn't need them any more and they would be unemployed

Where would the fun in that be?

Hugh Jardon · 03 July 2007, 12:25

we aim to be at ichenor at 9-9.30 to launch if the weather is kind as we will have the little ones with us, anyone else launching at ichenor?

philb · 03 July 2007, 16:21

Hi Hugh, we hope to be doing same and also have young herberts on board, will look out for you, more like 9.30 for us i think.

Looking to go from the Hamble in the Thundercat all being well. Anybody coming from that way that could carry a spare can of fuel for me?

Biggles · 03 July 2007, 20:57

I normally go from the Hamble. But not this time sorry.

Nick.

Biggles · 03 July 2007, 21:00

Please post any updates / omissions, we will redo the list in a day or so, so no trawling necessary. If you want to link up with someone for the trip check the launchsites & post or pm

The Plan
Generally Picnic / BBQ / sporting events on the beach including Rounders ('Shooz Rules'

)
If Saturday is good and all goes ahead then might go for a Round IOW blast on the Sunday for those who are still around & happy campers!
Otherwise Sunday might involve Priory Rehab (kipping on the beach)

Local campsite is Nodes Point

See recent posts for tide times and visual aids to accessing the beach.

Don't forget to check JK's RIBnet Cruising Advice.

Please post or pm any updates, good ideas or if you intend bringing a job-lot of sausages etc.
Warning : There may be dodgy mackerel, nettled Pimms etc.

Beware of yotties on the day (famille Halliday in this case!)
