Blyth Spirits

We're in Blyth, enjoying pints of Fair Wind bitter in the old wooden lightship which serves as the clubhouse of the Royal Northern Yacht Club.
The day started with the relaunch of Toucando at Eyemouth. A few formalities had to be completed and then we set off. The new bow thruster was brilliant: not only did it thrust the bow perfectly, it made a beautiful purring noise.
We headed off down the coast, past Berwick. We were back in English waters after ever so long in the Celtic world. Then there was Lindisfarne, the Farne Islands, various castles, a few puffins. It was good to be afloat and moving again going along one of the most spectacular coastlines in Britain. Thanks go to Ian for crewing and bringing his local knowledge of the area.
Tomorrow we head for Scarborough, and then on to Grimsby.
