Safety information

- Tidal Conditions on Solent check tide tables when planning. - Check Tide Times, Wind Speed and Wave heights - Be aware of racing tides between Hurst Castle and Isle of Wight (Albert's Fort). - Shallow drafts at low tide through Keyhaven Marshes... be mindful of Marshes, do not follow marsh tributaries unless on Flood tide... if Ebb tide can potentially get stuck there until next Flood tide period!
