"Having navigated the twists and turns in and out of both Plymouth and Portsmouth"
I'm not too sure you really have. I used to live near a place called Admiral's Hard. It's actually a launching point near Durnford St for a foot ferry to Cornwall and not a phallic errr thingie. The roads in and out of Plymouth are a bit special too. The topography around Plymouth is quite tricky and the attempts to join the place up to the rest of the civilized world have been quite half hearted at times.
Portsmouth - the other town that gets mistaken for the other. I have no idea why: they both start with P and have a lot of Navy going on perhaps?
If Sir Drake could get his little ships in and out of the Sound then I'm sure you can too. The Brittany Ferries also manage to get their ships in and out. If you need a bigger channel then buy a fucking dredger and crack on.
