Tips and Tricks
Things to consider when launching
What time is high/low tide
Are you launching at a mud flat - if so, pick as close
to high tide as you can get
What way is the wind blowing?
How does that factor in with
what the tide is doing?
If you will arrive at your
campsite close to low tide - will you be able to land?
Some areas are only accessible at higher tides
Is it a full moon or close to
it? This will make low tides lower and high tides higher
