Whitby to sunderland is looking a bit of a better jump.

What does thee lot reckon?

You can just about see Whitby from Sunderland!
Marina is right at the river mouth, easy peasy and a short walk from the beach, pubs and chip shops.
I'd say go for it....

if i miss the tide at whitby, I might just carry on until morning and see where I end up.

If you find you're falling short of Sunderland, Seaham has a hardly-used harbour (the north harbour, the south harbour is commercial).
Only about 6 miles south of Sunderland, but worth knowing.
It more or less dries out, but would be a safe spot to stop for the night.
I've heard there are plans to dredge it and build a marina.....

I was intent on Hartlepool in the end, but it wasn't to be. I was running low on fuel, so popped into Whitby for a top up. By the time I walk to the petrol station, it was getting on a bit, so I've decided to stay until morning.

Also, in other news, I'm broke, big time. I can't afford fuel nor marina fees beyond the next couple of hops, so I'm taking the drastic step of selling my watch

Open to offers if anybody is in the market for Breitling Colt Automatic.
