Day 16 24 th Jan. Grimsby to Scarborough

 

Off we go 

Passage Plan,

Weather 

 The difference a day makes top is yesterdays forecast and below todays what was SW is now NE, still it's very light so we'll carry on regardless.  Almost scuppered the Filey bay option.  (See Below)

Tides  Grimsby  HW 14.45      Scarborough (25th Jan )HW 0132 and 14.05

Exit ASAP after lock goes to free flow, once outside, CTS 085 down Grimsby Middle Channel toward Spurn point.  Keep active watch for larger ships. Track eastwards around the wind Farm eventually heading North. Once abeam East 2 Cardinal set CTS 330 for Flamborough Head.  After Flamborough we can either alter course (300) into Filey bay to anchor for the night or crack on for Scarborough on our original course. We can decide this once we assess the conditions close to Filey.   I think we will probably be motoring a lot of the time today so stopping early might nicer, with a peaceful night at anchor.

Trip (once we are in Scarborough) 60NM   overall 459nm 

Well, as expected we have taken a little longer than first planned for and are anchored in Filey Bay. We will complete our Journey to Scarborough on the morrow.

We are now 16 days in and considering we have had 3 days stuck in port.  Our average daily milage is nearly 29Nm so a little above what we were aiming at, but that's OK as there is a lot of coastline, but very few places to stop.   But getting ahead of ourselves can have advantages too.  There will be more time to enjoy the prettier places we will get to, without the angst of worrying about keeping on schedule.
