W.Y. C. Summer Cruise North Sat 19th July 2014

Hello all,

Well, at last I have sat down with tables and charts, the results of my labours, the dates and tides are below.

Sat 19th July - H.W. 09:59 - Whitby to Hartlepool - We intend to leave on the extra bridge, at 1300.
Thus getting the tide north, and possibly having to wait for sufficient water to enter the Hartlepool lock.

Sun 20th July - H.W. 10:47 - H'pool to Newcastle City Marina - 27N.M. - Leaving about midday seeking the tidal assistance to the Tyne mouth, then the flooding tide to assist up the river Tyne to the City Marina. Will have to book a bridge opening at the Millennium bridge

Mon 21st - Rest Day in Newcastle

Tues 22nd - H.W. 1256 - Newcastle City Marina to Amble - 27N.M. - Leaving on the Midday bridge

Wed 23rd - H.W. 13:42 - Amble to Farnes - 28N.M. - I am keen to visit the Farnes, and weather dependent anchor overnight at Lindisfarne

Thurs 24th - H.W. 02:09 & 14:35 - Lindisfarne to Eyemouth - 17 N.M.

We are keen to travel all the way to the Firth of Forth, and Queensferry, all being dependent on tide and weather.

The return journey will most likely start on Sunday 27th , to conclude in Scarborough by Friday 1st August, for the race the following morning.

I will welcome any observations, or comments, and would like to know if anyone intends to join in for any of this cruise.

Best regards
Dave Broughton
R.C.C.
