Rye > Newhaven / by Tim Wilson

Another early start as can only leave Rye at high water which was at 5:17. A clear still morning. Motored out along the winding river back to the entrance, and the sea almost as calm as the river with no wind so motored south-west towards Hastings. After an hour or so the wind picked up and a slow gentle sail all the way past the cliffs to Newhaven.

Being very slowly overtaken

Beachy Head

Seven Sisters

Tried over-sunglasses over top of prescription sunglasses for extra protection and very restful for the eyes.

Moored in Newhaven. Can see the mud from sitting in river bed at Rye.
