Geezercdg Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I want to cross Brydon for the first time but am but anxious as my freeman 27 won’t go more that 6mph with the tide. The low tide for this Monday is 450 which means I need to get to all the bridges going north about 540 ish? My question is how far could I get and where could I moor?

BrundallNavy Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Are you going North to south or reverse, Burgh Castle moorings are open and run by the Pub/Marina or continue down to St Olaves. 6 mph is plenty fast enough as long as you do not push the tide to much.

oldgregg Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Stracey arms seems like a good place to head for. That's my preferred stop on an evening crossing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 You will still have a good two and a half hours of daylight if you get to the bridges heading north for 5.40pm. That is plenty of time to get to Stracey, Stokesby, Acle or further upstream if needs be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Tuesday today - he should have made it by now with some luck!! Going north, he perhaps stopped on the pontoon by the yellow post until the tide had actually stopped running out of the Bure - usually I find the tide tends to run out of the Bure at least an hour or even an hour and a half or more after low water. Having said that it was coming up to a spring tide, so once the tide had turned, he would have no touble getting to Stracey, Stokesby or perhaps Acle!!!
