Blyth > Whitby / by Tim Wilson

Longest journey yet of the trip and first overnight! Picked up Jon in Sunderland and then straight back out with intention of overnight sail down to Scarborough. But with wind from south-east progress was by tacking back and forth against the wind or motoring when wind dropped - and so came into Whitby instead in the morning to wait for better winds.

Not longer after leaving Eyemouth a school of dolphins passed traveling in pairs heading north. On the calm sea was the only disturbance.
