Guys,

I've been doing some calcs and this year might be the year to do the short course.

Low water at Mersea (island north of the river, opposite Bradwell) is 10:47 so if the wind is light, the slower boats may struggle to make it before the tide turns had and comes back in. Tide is FAIRLY slack a couple of hours either side and then it shoots back in.

In the past years, we have left just after high and so the slow boats had ridden the tide out and then back. THIS year it looks like we MAY plug Some tide before we get to the Colne gate. Thiss will help the fast boats for the first time in years!!!!

Those that are coming for the first time, I'm more than hapopy to go thru some of the issues Friday or Saturday night (note I have a neeting about SCHRS booked fgor 20:00).




Nick / Wayne, do you want some food Friday night? Wayne has my mobile, I'll be in shopping around midday.
