Sun 16 Aug Heading on South

Woke up at 0600 and, armed with cups of tea and the urge to press on,
a look at the weather encouraged us to slip and proceed, with a target of Sunderland, about 60 miles.
Once underway and past Lindisfarne/Bamburgh Castle, B went to bed to have a kip, still feeling 💩.
Pressed on and according to the navigational plan, picked up the favourable tidal stream just past Amble. Motored all the way but made Sunderland from flash to bang, including a stop alongside for fuel, in exactly 12 hours. Both a bit weary so we intend swapping an early start in the morning for a full day and a second night here in Sunderland Marina before a short hop to Hartlepool, where we want to visit HMS TRINCOMALEE and the Royal Naval Museum.
Good progress made.Read more
