The wind is still quite strong but forecast to decrease as the day progresses.
As always we have been given lots of advice and have to balance this alongside the pilot books.
The best advice so far came from Trevor, who we met in Hull.
He warned us of the lobster pots off Cromer and not to sail through there in the dark.
Trevor was right - there were hundreds of pots there, I have never seen anything like it. Most well marked with flags but the occasional small buoyed pot to catch you out!
We were cautious and for good reason. We heard that a yacht had earlier got caught on one and had to call out the lifeboat.
We will have to be alert today as there are many buoys to follow and the Thames has lots of sandbanks.
Planning to leave at 07:00.
Glad to of been some help to you. Fair winds for the rest of the trip. Trev.
