Thanks for your story, very illustrative about how the navigation is in in the English Channel.

help where I can. As it's a bit parochial for most Navlist users, I wonderif we should take the discussion off-list? If anyone else shows an
interest, I'm happy to continue on-list. Whatever suits best.

I think is OK on-list, sure is not a cruising list, but I think a little" fresh air" once in a while is healthy for us.
I am interested in knowing how secure was navigation in such waters with strong tidal currents, shallow water and shoals everywhere, without a GPS.
Is amazing to see how the tide changes from the departure port to the the Channel islands, (see attached graphs).
Did you use coastal navigation/piloting techniques to get a fix?, and the sextant?
