Took Lunar ashore to a beach for a run, dropped off the liferaft for its service, motored up to Newcastle
Rowed ashore to walk the dog. Isabella at anchor and Tynemouth in the background.
Alongside at Cosalt Marine, dropping off the liferaft for its expensive service (their guess = £200 + VAT! Ouch!).

Ooh yeah, that's where we were before we left for Hartlepool. What were they doing there?
Glad you like the beard

Hi Jeff and Rose,
We followed you up the Tyne on our Hunter 19 and berthed behind you for a coffee. On leaving I did a bit googling and found this site. Great reading. Here's a snap I took of my phone whilst leaving. Hope the rest of your journey goes well and I also hope you enjoyed your night in the 'toon'.

Brilliant!! Thank you for the photo!!! We both remember seeing you.
Out of interest, how did you find us on Google, what did you search for?
Night on the "toon" was good thanks. A little noisy later on when people returned from their boozy river cruises, but we're used to stuff like that.
Hope you had a good trip back down river.

I knew it was a Westerly but was not sure which one, so i took the photo and googled westerly isabella on my phone and found this site. It was a nice trip back down thank you. Its amazing (or scary) how much you can find out about people in a couple of minutes . Anyway, I look forward to reading your continuing saga.
Cheers Stu

Hi Jeff and Rose,
I can't post a new topic so I'll have to add to this one. My boat partner (make that bit clear) Darren took this snap today after a misty day in dock and sent it to me to upload. Hows the stern gland repair going? As I think you're berthed near Polar Bear, if's theres a bald lad that has extremly long arms (ex climber) lurking about on it called Graham, mention my name and he'll give the 50p tour. Its very nice. If your'e still there tomorrow, I've told darren to give you a shout if he goes to the marina.
Regards
Stu and Darren

Hi Stu & Darren,
That's great seeing pictures of us from different angles, thank you!!!
Stern gland hasn't dripped a drop since I replaced it so I think we're all good on that front now. We motored through the haze to Amble yesterday, still no drips. Unfortunately that also means we've missed out on a tour of Polar bear. Would have liked that a lot! Quite a boat!
See you on the next lap!!
