Day 19 27th of January Scarborough to Hartlepool

 Passage plan 

The wind will be somewhat unpredictable today, however for the last part of the journey I'm pretty sure we will have a broad reach into Hartlepool.

Weather   W at first then veering N afternoon F3-4 Bright but cloudy

Tides  Scarborough HW 1540  Hartlepool Hw 1500 LW 2120

With an 8-hour journey we must leave Scarborough as soon as the tide makes it possible.  This in reality will be about 10:30. After clearing the Breakwater turn to port around the headland, keeping an eye on our depth. Once abeam the tower on the top of the hill, turn North. If the wind is true to the predictions then when we will have to bear away to the north east more and more.  To the point when we can tack and head straight towards Hartlepool. That needs to be a heading of about 275.  Once within 2 miles we will cross the Tees approach channel, then keeping to the North of Longscar rocks and cardinal bouy, we head in to Hartlepool Marina.

contact Tees Harbour Radio on VHF channel 14 before entry then Channel 37 or 80 for the marina
