ROUTE PLAN POOLE 16
Plan is to go south of Atomic Buoy. Must not go to far North or tide could sweep you over St Aldhelms ledge.
As the approach is made to the ledge sea states can be reviewed to see if the corner can be cut.
Distances: Moorings to Studland 26 NM. 6hrs @ 5knts so lets say 7hrs.
Old Data but kept for info
Studland to Pool Bridges: 5.6 NM 1hr 15 @ 5kts lets say 1 hr 30.
add 1hrs for Bridge transit.
Bridges to Cobbs Quay. 0.89 NM 1 hr @ 3knts
Cobbs to Bridges 1hr
add 30 mins.
Bridge to Old Harry 1hr 30.
Old Harry to St Aldhelms distance= 8.23 miles @ 5 knts 1hrs 30 mins. Must be Here at 10:40
Therefore must leave Cobbs to catch the 5:30 Bridge. Up at 04:30. Ouch.
Alternatively go on a foul tide to St Adlhelms @ 15:40 for inshore passgage. Therefore must leave Cobbs to catch time say 6hrs 10:40 so say 10:oo departure. Much better.
ETA Mooring 19:00hrs.
