All boats are supplied with current tide tables. Slight differences in tidal times are experienced in other locations in the region, but they are not significant. You need to consider how much extra chain to let out in order to maintain a minimum of a four to one scope, when anchoring. Considering how much water you will have under the vessel at low tide and if you have enough water around you, should the boat swing if the wind changes direction are all important factors to consider. It is also important when taking the dinghy to the beach to consider whether you anchor it in a few metres of water or tie it high up on the beach. Considering if the tidal currents help your progress and what, if any, is the effect of wind against tide on the sea conditions will have when you plan your passage.
