54:41.53N 01:12.06W What a good penultimate day.  Back out of the Tyne and straight into a comfortable close reach – and it stays like that all journey.  We really can’t believe that you don’t always have to fight the wind, one sail pattern takes us all the way to Hartlepool, the wind is warm, the sea state is slight, the tide is with us and we do most of the journey at 6 ½  knots plus, SOG.  Nice welcome to Hartlepool from the marina guys so now we’re lined up ready for the final hop.  Watch this space!  Photos: Admiral Lord Collingwood bids us farewell as we leave the Tyne.
