If you launch at stannah across from hutchy's you get around 3 hours on a high tide, you can launch at knott end almost any state of tide and get double that, not quite that brown, there's a tinge of blue when sun shines.

The tides this coming weekend are spot on!!!
Sat - 14:05, 10.2m
Sun - 15:11, 10.47m
For those of you who don't know W-S-M 10m ish is ideal for launching and they're afternoon tides too so I don't have to get up early

the problem with weston is not much time on the water, where as torbay you can launch in the morning when you arrive then bugger off when you please! IMO its worth the extra mileage!

Come on guys! Drag your lazy asses there!
Think of us northern monkeys who have to travel these distances on a normal day to just get a bit of decent water! Think of it as a road trip!
Jamie you can be Rubber Duck and Scott you can be Pig Pen!

You'd get maybe 3 hours per day which if you drive your boat hard is more than enough. The rest of the time is spent in the pub opposite the slip eating drinking and talking crap about how much air you got or how many revs you saw etc. What more could you want eh?
