13.8.26 Hartlepool to Grimsby. 24 hours and a pot bouy incident
I'm grateful to one of my major sponsors, Ben, for wanting to join me this week.
there were some long passages that really should not be done solo. I can't stay awake and alert for 24 hours!
it's a good job, really too. I wouldn't want to go swimming at 2am in the North Sea to release a Pot Bouy Line from the rudder without support.

In 2026, British solo sailor Richard 'Rick' Brocklesby is navigating the English East Coast aboard his Colvic Countess 28, Ketty 11. Underway on a 2,100 NM solo UK circumnavigation, he is raising funds and awareness for Parkinson's UK following a close friend's diagnosis. Sailing south from Hartlepool toward Grimsby on his final leg to Plymouth, the channel documents raw coastal seamanship, tidal navigation, and DIY diesel repairs.
