A good account, congratulations. A question, did Drake say “there is time to finish the game and still beat the Spaniards”? While planning on of a series of paintings about Drake including of his famous circumnavigation, I'm a marine Artist as you can see via my website, I checked with the help of Plymouth Uni Planetarium, the state of the moon (thus the tides) for the day and time the Armada was sighted. Accounts written by those present tell us there was a calm that day in Plymouth and the Uni Planetarium staff confirmed a flood tide. I used to keep my engine-less yacht “Music Maker” moored at the mouth of The Cattewater, river Plym, Plymouth, where the English fleet were moored awaiting the Spanish Armada. From my own considerable experiences with my yacht moored off Mount Batten on The Cattewater I can assure you there is no way that in light airs with a flood tide that an engine-less vessel can leave The Cattewater, not even with towing by oared boats or warping out. There was time to finish the game and Drake, a Plymouth man and one of the all time finest navigators, knew that.

The channel sea and the direction of the wind caused most of the damage…
