Well the evening wasn't entirely wasted then.... much.....
Narrowest point being the "Swellies" (such a cool name) still sounds dodgy, I am going to go a bit further north on the sand flats of Lavan Sands/Beaumaris with easier currents, easier egress and swim-able distances;
And the big boys cruising in on proper ships, then hot footing it by speed yacht back up the Dee when the world famous and still credible Cavalry Dash was needed
Still not sure you can write off the flat bottomed boats from a longer crossing than the shortest, they brought the boats and their flat bottoms in from somewhere.....
