I have been looking at the weather and the wind over the next few days is variable to say the least. There are a number of stopping points over the next 100 miles but as usual they all have their constraints. Whitby was the next stop on the list, To get in and out of the inner harbour, means negotiating a swing bridge which operates -2 to +1 HW. HW Whitby is 1521 on Wed and 1545 on Thursday. Which is fine for getting in but no so good for coming out if we have a 5 hr journey to the next stop. Then there is the wind. Whitby shouldn't be entered in strong North to easterly Winds. Well the good news is it's not strong but the bad is its dead N at arrival time. This is one of those occasions when we must go to plan B.
Plan B is to carry on to Hartlepool. Now this is an 8 hour journey from Scarborough so make those sandwiches and lots of them!. An advantage of Hartlepool is we can get in at nearly any time other than LW +- 1 and tomorrow that occurs 2200 and we hope to be there way before that.
Enjoy the rest of your day in Scarborough
