The mere mention of "Channel" got me to thinking about minefields. A couple of days ago I slipped past a mine approx. 30km south of Dover on a routine hydrophone check. Gave me quite a shiver - the sub had missed it by 10 meters or so.

They also suggested that anyone concerned about mines around the Hebrides should consider having his mum walk him down to the local haberdashery, where he will no doubt find a suitable pair of big boy knickers available for purchase.

Concerning Frau Kaleun's blouses, I would like to look deeper in to this.

See?
Keep going north. All the way around Færøerne.
If you hug The North Shore there are plenty of independents sailing there.

I've always gone between them and the Hebrides, but I tend to stay in the deeper water midway between. Never had any trouble there. Of course I don't think I've ever come acress any enemy shipping there either. Might take the longer way 'round next time and see what happens.

A lot depends on what depths (upper and lower) the mines are tethered at.

I've been through minefields where they were set at 25 metres so transitting at PD wasn't a problem but I've also seen them only a few metres below the surface which means any choppy weather conditions and your knackered even on the surface.

Don't forget....the density of said minefield can also be a crucial factor that also needs taken into consideration.
