re suitable tides there seems to be a better tide on Moday afternoon rather than Sunday afternoon. I think they would much rather operate in daylight. But wind could be a deciding factor, and a high wind forecast for Monday could persuade them to go for Sunday if it arrives on time. There must be concerns about this operation going wrong, and blocking the channel would be disastrous. If they chose Monday afternoon, that would still leave 4 more rising tides to refloat if it grounded. If they waited for Wednesday, then they would be trying to refloat on falling tides if it went wrong.
