CAscars said on another thread......... The harbour has a 6 kt limit but the tide flow up the harbour channel can be as much as that.
This is a situation that faces many of us and begs a definitive answer. Assuming the speed limit is set for safty and wash reduction, how is it going to be measured?
Speed through the water? 6knts into a 7knt current and you are going backwards over the graound but 6 knts through the water. OK then 6knts over the ground and you are doing 13knts through the water and kicking up a huge wash.
Could any of you with the judgement of Soloman decide how fast to go in a
6knts area ?
Poole my home base use radar guns. Down tide you get a ticket up tide you don't even if your going faster .... Go figure
