Harty Swale SIB launch

Hi all, planning a trip on Saturday down the Thames estuary...launching at Harty Swale and stopping for lunch in Whitstable. High tide at 08:30am. Any wisdom from the assembled company? It's an Aerotec 420 with 25HP.

Thanks!

My only thought would be are you sure an 8.30am high tide is right for that trip. It will leave you just after lunch at low tide and lots of mud surely.

Worked really well - Harty great place to launch, slipway right down to low tide...perfect conditions! Should have downloaded some charts though!
