The end

  I've decided to call a halt to my trip here at Anstruther, i don't have sufficient confidence to tackle the run up to Inverness and would be waiting a long time in harbour for favourable wind forecasts. It's a shame that the Clyde and Forth canal is shut as I could have happily carried on that way.
  I've certainly achieved the main aim of the trip which was to meet new people, see new places and do new things. No doubt my sailing skills have improved and I've learnt a lot about passage planning, allowing for forecast weather and tide.

      Thanks Keith,
      My reception that Hornsea morning was lovely. all along this trip it has been, largely, the people that I have met that have made it memorable :-)

    Solid decision. Another time perhaps, leave a pin in the map where you are for the start of the next leg 😎 - best of luck

    Sounds a very sensible decision Nick. It's always going to be there in the future to continue...... Matt

    Hi Nick, Glad you had decent weather for a lot of the time. Did you stop off in Edinburgh at all? I think you are pretty brave and looks like you managed to get some good photos on the way.
