Default Bristol Channel Cruising

Hi. I usually charter and cruise on south coast with the family (wife and 3 teenagers, all girls, eek!), but am thinking of buying and mooring at Penarth in the hope of getting afloat more often (easier access from Birmingham). I don't know much (anything) about cruising bristol channel, and there isn't much in the way of pilots etc, any advice? From what I can find, concerns are; restricted cruising ground due to tides etc? 10m tide, now that is BIG, I bet wind over tide is interesting. And what about bilge v's fin keel? There appear to be a few places to go for boats that can't stand up, but restricted access.

New to this forum lark, so no idea if i have sent this or put it in the right place.
