Description
Crossing the Thames Estuary is an English-language pilot book for the Thames Estuary. The book brings together descriptions and illustrations to help you familiarise yourself with the area and prepare for your trip before departure.
60 described routes between Kent, Essex, and Suffolk provide a structured starting point for planning a crossing of the Thames Estuary. Roger Gaspar describes waters characterised by tides, shallows, sandbanks, and heavy shipping traffic.
Planning tables, waypoints, and route diagrams show the relationship between speed, departure time, and passage duration. The tables cover boat speeds of 4, 5, 6, and 7 knots, while the text and chart sketches explain the individual sections of the routes.
Practical to have available during your journey. Use the book to find relevant locations, compare alternatives, and immerse yourself in the areas you wish to visit. The printed format makes it easy to refer back to text and illustrations without depending on network coverage.
