GUEST,Observer	Crossing the Bar question (43)	RE: Crossing the Bar question	10 Aug 18
If memory serves another feature that made/makes the bar across the entrance to Salcombe is that in certain sea conditions sailing vessels with deep long keels can ground even at high water/near high water due to the scend of the sea. The Channel Pilot's sailing directions for Salcombe states that: "It is inadvisable to attempt to cross the bar on an ebb tide with strong onshore winds or swell"
