just getting started with my first boat, 3.6 honwave with 9.9 mariner.
has anyone had experience with small boats on Sandwich Bay and the Stour? looking for advice where I can use my boat in east Kent.
Chris welcome to the forum. Not familiar with your area as such but just looked at the charts. Wonder where'd you launch... off beach at Sandwich Bay or is there anywhere in Ramsgate harbour... or somewhere else? A large area of Sandwich Bay dries at low water so careful tidal planning needed re the times you are out.
Similarly the Stour looks to have large areas of mud either side of a small channel at lower tide states so just make sure you plan water depths to get back to where you launch from.
Hopefully someone with actual experience of your area will be along soon.
thanks Fenlander,
I am familiar with Sandwich Bay low tides and you are right, you don't want to be caught out there. with a light boat, launching is not a problem off the beach.
Hi welcome to the forum and SIBing I'm in Bexley Kent although I generally do don't Boat down the Kent coast but their is great fish all along where you intend to go and lots of quite places to beach launch and park free! good luck you will soon be replacing the 9.9 with a 25 lol

Hey Chris I was in your shoes a year ago, so any obvious questions just ask!
