It's ok cap, the post was just some tide times etc. Content deleted as it might have spoiled our fun doing it for ourselves.

Sorry Cap'n
After I posted I thought you guy's might want to do the passage planning and I had spoilt your fun.
It was only what time HW Dover and the CTS from the SWM at the Needles to the leading line in Braye

It was pure laziness on my part, thought you may have done it all for us?

Timeteam on Ch4 at the moment are digging in Jersey, if you fancy some of the WWII history of Alderney this program will give you a taster. And yes, we do have live ordinance still regularly found!

to get you in the mood, dont forget your dancing shoes!

Not quite Tony Robinson

The D Class Lifeboat was demobilsed a couple of years ago and that was the launching quadbike being taken back to Poole HQ by Lifeboat. There was a brief glimpse of local coxswain strutting his stuff.

I was just posting March's tide table on our site when I thought 'I know I will do July's early and post it to SBnR':

Now Cap'n, why an early start???

HW is 12:10 BST

Slack is approx 14:30

Allowing 3 hours from the Needles we need to leave there at approx 11:30 so leaving Saxon at 10:00. That's not early in my book.

I accept that that is 3 hours before my daughters like to drag themselves out of the pit though

Ah but I got my tide times from http://www.visitalderney.com/documents/TideTables%20Combined.pdf

They give 11:09 UTC as high water.

Could a local clarify which is which?

[Channel Ribs]

My bad.

I will change our table to BST, it currently claims to be but is in fact UTC. Give me two ticks...

Edit: The Alderney Marine version is now in BST and shows a high tide on Friday the 22nd at 12:10, thus slackish is at about half two.

There is also a list of local VHF usage in the same directory: www.alderneymarine.com/info which might be handy.
