We finally left Whitby last Saturday, the weather was still pretty dull but the fog had lifted so we risked a shortish sail to Scarborough and then on to Grimsby.

A rest day was spent sampling the delights of Cleethorpes a short train ride from Grimsby.
We've just spent a couple of wonderful days in Wells-next-the-Sea (North Norfolk), the entry into the harbour was pretty terrifying, but worth it. We came in just before the tide had turned with 25 knots of wind and a big rolling sea behind us. The Harbour Master asked us to wait for about half an hour before we attempted to enter - it was the longest 30 mins... Once he gave us the nod we started our approach but lost our nerve after surfing in on a particularly large wave made the route unclear. The excellent staff at Wells Harbour came out and guided us in. We were very grateful for their guidance as a local boat had got caught out and grounded just as we were coming in and it could so easily have been us!

We spent today at the Holkham Hall Estate which is well worth a visit with beautiful grounds, interesting shops. We've now completed over
2,000 nautical miles and are well on our way to completing our
circumnavigation. Tomorrow we continue south to Lowerstoft.
