Sailed from Blythe to Eyemouth, in the boarders, yesterday starting off in a splendid wind. About a force 4 reach, auto pilot on and reeling off the miles. However we did have to motor sail for a few hours as the wind died at times. Sailed inside of the Farne Islands to a prolification of bird life. Unfortunately the visibility was clamping down so we didn't push our luck (thought about anchoring off Holy Island) so sailed onto Eyemouth. About a 75 mile trip. Fortunately the harbour had been dredged the week before so, although it was tight, we moored up inside with out a problem. Greated by the 3 resident seals in the harbour.
Eyemouth entrance - rocks off the entrance to be avoided!
Will stay here for 3 days as Simon is flying up tomorrow to Edinburgh and we have hired a car to pick him up and do some site seeing.
The AIS report from this trip is not complete as I switched the box off by mistake half way up the coast.
