A Local Trip that was there for the Doing

Put in above the city of Hull on the river of the same name. Headed down through the industrial heartland, not a pleasant place. Broke out of the river into the Humber and headed east down towards the docks. Progress was rapid in the ebbing tide. Past the P&O Ferries and Saltend Jetty, making progress to the sleepy village of Paull were I aggressed.

A bit of a poor video I put together of the journey..



The following day I jumped back on at Paull and continued down a glassy Humber.

30 nautical miles covered, average speed of 7knots and a top speed of 8.2knots with tidal assist, not a taxing trip but pleasant enough and there for the doing.

Thanks to the lovely Fi for taking photos and being my land support :-)
