Now, take your hand out and see how long the water takes to settle. That is the same amount of time that I will worry.

But thats your risk. You're gonnaYou should feel guilty if you shout the kid on the otherside of the street to give you a hand and he gets knwocked down running over to help you.
However, just before the admins shut this down and ban you can I point something out to them...
You deserve a medal. This is the first thread I've ever read on rib.net where the entire rib.net community agreed.

Don't stop him. I'm having a laugh here. I wonder if he would have the same ideas if he lived in France. They would charge him if they got called out.

Very entertaining.

I had similar thoughts if he is that Thick as to think he can do that trip at this time of year let him get on with it
It would have made a whole new thread as well in his rescue or demise.

I would only like to add one more comment on this thread - one of my other interests is motorbikes - currently I have a Ducati 916 and a Vespa scooter. If I was to take one racing at the TT I am inclined to understand which bike is fit for the purpose (arguably the scooter is probably safer - but not on a racing line on dodgy corners).
You have a very nice rib and engine - but with respect - the vessel you now have was designed for a purpose. I doubt the manufacturer or anyone in the RNLI would necessarily agree that it is particularly suitable for offshore / long distance, particularly at this time of year.
You can probably sail around the world in a paper bag - but it is not recommended.

I had a 3.8 Honwave with a 20 on the back. I took that from Falmouth to Fowey in July 2010 on a flat calm day and it felt vulnerable crossing the open bays.
I have read most of the last seven pages and it appears he is set in doing this whatever and has a distinct lack of humour.
Yes he will have neap tides and yes there are a couple of days next week that MIGHT be more settled. There are numerous areas of tide races and a good Atlantic ground swell running all next week.
If he needs recusing he should pay simple.
