Wet North Sea
Left Whitby into another howling force 2 but with added delight of it poring with rain. Eventually the rain did stop and we did have about 3 hrs of great sailing but 6 hrs of motor sailing. All a bit overcast as we passed the industrial centres of Middlesbrough, Hartlepool, Sunderland, Newcastle and Tynemouth. Our destination for the night was Blythe, a commercial harbour but with the Royal Northumberland Yacht Club nessled in the corner of the south harbour. The club house is an ex wooden lightship having served in stations off the Isles of Scilly, Seven Stones, Shambles off Weymouth and finally off Calshot Spit. It's externally a bit worse for wear but inside very luxurious.
