Leigh and Clare started their push through Princess Royal Channel making good time, seeming to be on schedule to time the tide change correctly in the Channel. But the tides in the twisty inside channels are capricious and slowed our team so that by high tide they did not reach the point where the outgoing tide would push them to the other end of the Channel.
Pulling hard against the outgoing tide to make any progress, the team pulled over to eat dinner and wait for the tide to slow, taking back off in the evening in an effort to position for the next outgoing tide.
Will our team make a run in the middle of the night to escape Princess Royal?
