HW Sharpness
Weather
Summary
Log
Mainly sunny until end of morning. Warm and dry LT Sharpness 08:01 HT Sharpness 11:34 8.0m LT Sharpness 20:15 0730 No water in Pill at all 0835 Tide rushing in like a river. Slid down the mud below Floating Jetty but really struggled to get the short distance downstream as the current was so strong. 0845 Finally got aboard Avocet 0905 Left Pill 09:20 Near Counts NNW 3-4 10:05 Sharpness after sailing through a large patch of significant standing waves. 1020 Purton. Wind now all over the place. 1100 Went through another area of standing waves just after Purton and approached the shore near the Noose bend. As we did so it was apparent that we were running out of water even with the plate almost up. Very little wind. Anchored to the mud lined sandy beach briefly and decided to abort Bullo. 1135 By sailing close to the shore we managed to sail into and up Brims Pill to anchor to the shore. 1150 After final coffee set off downsream in NW 3 1230 Sharpness NW 4+ 13:20 Into Oldbury Pill with plenty of water 14:30 Would have been the last ditch approach to Avocet's mooring
