2 MayCruising and White Sails Events

Cruise destinations are not generally chosen till the day of the event.To go anywhere on the Forth in a relatively slow cruising yacht you have to work with the tides.High water in the late afternoon or early evening favours a cruise downriver to Inchcolm, Granton, Aberdour or beyond sailing down with the ebb and returning on the flood.High water around midday or early afternoon favours visits up river to Limekilns, Charlestown, Boness and Blackness which can only be accessed near high water.But while we can predict the tide we can’t predict the wind so we like to remain flexible.
