Another interuption to the voyage

 The weather in April does not encourage an early start to the season. Robinetta is safely in Grimsby, but Julian and I are on our way home. We spent Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in Grimsby with our fingers crossed that we could move on after Thursday's high winds, but once we checked the swell forecast for Whitby we realised there was no way that we could safely take Robinetta out into the North Sea.

We will try to get to Hartlepool over the Easter weekend, so I am keeping my fingers crossed for better weather then.

We enjoyed our time in Grimsby, with visits to Cleethorpes for fish and chips, and Riby Street for the fishmongers. Julian made a lovely kedgeree, and we entertained a young French couple to dinner on Robinetta. They are heading North to visit Norway in a steel yacht and like us found that Grimsby is not a bad place to spend a few days.
