Just a note on the ferries--in my experience they are not in the channel,
but closer to shore. They move very fast, and require you to be alert. The
times I have been there on a NE it looked sailable, but there was no one
else there. Also, the wind seemed a bit flukier, and I did not want to risk
it.
