Earlyish start. Light wind. A lot of motoring. Eventually we sailed well with the cruising chute for the last 2.5 hours.We entered the marina with the lock on free-flow – the lock-keeper passed over the mooring details as we went past. Well that was the idea, but I thought we had to stop which spoiled the effect a bit.
There is a lot of history in Whitehaven – it was a coal mining town from the 1300s to 1987. Unfortunately the Haig Colliery museum was closed for major refurbishment and the Beacon museum would not open till 10am on Tuesday.
You have to take this sailing business seriously

Whitehaven entrance + industrial remains. Don’t come in at low water.
