Wells to Grimsby

Starting out from Wells, we had hoped to follow a local fishing boat out, but they had all gone by the time we set off. Instead we followed the buoyed path and ploughed a few furrows through the mud as I got the hang of the route.
This was a definitely a rough passage across The Wash and into the Humber. It was a head wind that peaked around 25kn, so we sent a lot time slamming into waves. Taking advice from the harbour master in Wells, we headed north to pick up one buoy, then another and so on past the firing range, south of Spurn Point and onto Grimsby, an easy route. The rain that had been clear on the way over started as we entered the Humber and we lost sight of anything more than 1nm away, so navigation was buoy to buoy, GPS and AIS.
The club house in Grimsby was very friendly, mains, water, wifi and a nice shower. We met another couple circumnavigating the uk - http://www.freewebs.com/zoe-marie/

No seals to be seen on this leg of the journey - though perhaps that excludes the 6 hours I spent laying horizontal with my eyes shut, wishing the world would end. Beware the air vents at the pointed end of the boat during rough weather, BTW, unless you like a face full of salt water from time to time. Grimsby was fine. Nice people at the club and lots to see around the docks/marina. Plus a train service only 5 minutes away.
