Decision made, Looking at the things to do in the various ports along the way, it seems Sunderland has most on offer. It's a short hop up the coast, and as there's a possibility of the weather holding us in port on Saturday there will be plenty to do.
Also looking further ahead Tynemouth and Blyth are very industrialised and a bit bleak so may opt to go on to Amble Marina
Passage Plan.
LW Hartlepool is 1000 hrs.
Weather Wind W F4/5 veering Northerly by 1300
We will aim to leave 0730 in the morning.
Follow the recommended track of 308° to the port hand cardinal 1 then 081° crossing the Victoria dock fairway at the outer cardinals, then once clear of the N breakwater head N.
Leave plenty of clearance on breakwater.
It's about 3 hrs to Sunderland and the wind will 'Head" Us along the way. So some tacking to do.
Breakwaters and the town are very conspicuous.
Stay in 15m water until entrance is due west to clear unmarked Hendon Rock.
South Breakwater has hazardous underwater debris marked with Red Cardinal Bouy
Harbour Master on CHI4
Trip 20m Total 527
