HOW complicated do you think it is?

Getting from A to B in tidal conditions, with marinas that become accessible only between certain hours, doing ferry-glides with the help of currents, having a totally different compass heading from where you want to go, adding in the current, night navigation in buoyed areas? Come and experiment!

Proposed route

We depart on Saturday evening from the marina for a night passage to freshen up on COLREG and the basics of tidal sailing. We choose a different marina each day, visiting areas like Southampton, The Hamptons, Portsmouth, Hamble River. We return to the marina on Thursday and release the school boats on Friday morning.
