WP capsize 16/1
boat capsize WP
3k from Stoney point at close to dead low, sounds like they hit middle spit??
Did all the right things :thumbsup: , took an hour to retreive. Would have been more serious in the dead of winter.
Glad everyone was Ok

Re: WP capsize 16/1
I have found that the navionics map is not all that accurate, so if he was following that it could be a contributing factor.laneends wrote:boat capsize WP

Re: WP capsize 16/1
They do, but I've seen plenty of things on Navionics that aren't accurate that can't be explained by sand being moved around. For example it says the Barge Hole is only 15m deep when it's actually over 30mbowl wrote:Pretty sure sand banks moveWolly Bugger wrote:I have found that the navionics map is not all that accurate, so if he was following that it could be a contributing factor.laneends wrote:boat capsize WP

And the danger marks are on the wrong side of the boat, according to the map.4liters wrote:They do, but I've seen plenty of things on Navionics that aren't accurate that can't be explained by sand being moved around.

Re: WP capsize 16/1
It's either middle spit, tortoise bank or middle bank trying to cut across that's within 3km of stony. Must've been going hard to do that much to the boat
