Cancelled – Yachts Cruise to Gosport & Littlehampton

This cruise has been cancelled

This cruise is eminently for skippers (and crews) prepared to use tenders to the maximum. It is proposed to stay within the bounds of Chichester Harbour on the Tuesday, with a short hop up the Emsworth channel (hoping to see the extensive wildlife) and then rafting at the mid-channel pontoon and proceeding into Emsworth by tender for lunch. High water about 13:00. Take the ebb back down to East Head anchorage. Ashore for an evening barbecue (kettle and charcoal provided). Wednesday low water at the bar 06:30; so when you have sufficient depth, take the flood to Littlehampton aiming to arrive about 11:30 to raft up at the town quay. Tom Cunliffe says the hinterland (ie up the Arun) is well worth exploring and that is what we will do, stopping for lunch depending on how we get on. Fish and chips back in Littlehampton in the evening.  Planned return to Chichester on Friday after Thursday night in Gosport.
