Question about Keaton Tides

Do anyone know if you could navigate the channel during low tide wtih -0.33'? The current plan is to leave at 7 am on Firday and its right at low tide. Appreciate in advance for you help.

I have only had a problem one time leaving the channel in 7 years. It was extremely low with an offshore wind. Still got out but I was puckered up until I got out to the pier. I had to have a few people stand on the bow to raise the stern enough to clear the motor, after that it's smooth sailing (in the channel). My boat was 24' at the timie.

Keaton can be skinny... check out some of the pictures taken during the Keaton tournament in March of 2006

I don't think a 24' would have made it out before 10 that morning.

If you can get it off the trailer, you should be able to make it out in a bay boat....offshore boat will have to wait
