Lossiemouth to Chatham - Day 6 Saturday - Still in Amble

Another leisurely day today waiting in Amble marina for engine parts to arrive. I spent the morning housekeeping and sorting things out and the afternoon sketching in Walkworth.

We have decided on our plan for the rest of the trip assuming we get the engine fixed tomorrow morning.

1. Depart Amble about 1700 Monday

2. Arrive Whitby after dawn on Tuesday, there is a tidal constraint with the Whitby harbour bridge.

3. Depart Whitby on the following high tide at about 1800 Tuesday.

4. Arrive Southwold on Wednesday evening after waiting for the incoming tide to help us up the river.

5. Depart Southwold about 0500 on Thursday

6. Arrive Chathan sometime on Thursday evening

7. Sort the boat out and depart for home at some point on Friday

8. On the Megabus Gold from Victoria Coach station to Aviemore at 2300 Friday to arrive in Aviemore

    at 1000 on Saturday morning.

Below are today's sketches.
