Tuesday 19th May: waiting on weather

Tomorrow's forecast looks OK for paddling, so spent the day preparing for the Bristol Channel crossing. The tidal streams in the Bristol Channel are very strong, so you have to mark up the chart with the necessary vector triangles, to make sure that paddling + tidal stream + leeway = where you want to go. The theory is much simpler than this site suggests. Phoned Swansea CG and filed a trip report with a rather worried watch officer.
