rigirly said: We attempted it last week - and turned around - it was very dark (even with lights) and many other boats buzzing around the channel. There's no way in hell we'd try it in the dark.

I'd do it now. I wouldn't do it in the past. But our dinghy also has an 18hp engine so it's a quicker trip and we can get it to plane easily.. On a typical charter dinghy that's 9.9hp I wouldn't make the trip.

I've done it several times with a typical 9.9HP dinghy during the day. It can be a pounding experience but not that bad. I don;t think I would try it at night.

To and From Leverick, you can call them and they'll come and get you.I don't think that is a scheduled stop. And by all means... Tip the captain <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />
