captains confessions - trip abandoned before we even left the jetty
Today at 1300UTC (3pm French time) we were due to head for Vannes in the Golfe du Morbihan.... but I called it off! Why? Basically I messed up the tidal calculations and whilst we would have had a favourable current for the duration it would have been pretty strong as we entered the Golfe du Morbihan. Currently it's spring tides so currents are running hard here but even so I'm keen to avoid 7.4 knots up our rear when navigating between the numerous rocks and islands.
Will try again tomorrow at an earlier time when the currents should hopefully be running at 2.1 knots instead!
