Plans

Go to the beach, as close as possible and then cry! Return home and search for Boat Shares and Day Skipper certification. These marine hashpoints are getting me down.

There are cliffs which are eroding rapidly. The beach can be unsafe at high tide.

You don't want to be too close if there is a land slide.

BBC Report - House Falls Into The Sea

Perhaps I can do a message in a bottle Macgyver Achievement. I have checked the Met Office charts for wind direction to estimate where to launch the bottle for it to sail to the hashpoint. I have checked for tidal flows. If I launch before noon, there should be little tidal flow and the wind should take the bottle to the point.

Here is the message.

Expedition

The point was just over one mile out at sea. Am I doomed never to reach these points? Will I ever complete my minesweeper with North_Sea_53,_1?
