First stop Amble

What a magic day - brilliant wind - well until it started changing direction far too frequently, but then we saw the puffins. The little birds are fantastic, mostly they are happy to paddle around as we sail past - it seems to take them so much effort to fly away. With their wee short wings and bright orange bills, they look tremendous in the air though. It turned out be a great wildlife spotting day, quite a few gannets, the odd guillemot and a fair few puffins. We also had a friendly seal come and say hello as we motored into the harbour. It’s been a tops day and we’ve still got cupcakes (wee nubs) to come - think we’ll be doing dinner back to front again this evening, with lasagne coming after the cup cakes. . Heading off for a short run to check out the area around Amble, back in time for cupcake tasting though! Laters Karen

Had an awesome day sailing, apart from suffering from a touch of see sickness in the gally whilst making lunch for everyone. Michael and myself tried our hand at crab fishing, however it didn’t last long before I left Michael alone to fight for a catch. Looking forward to Jodie’s chocolate and apple cup-cakes and a game of tension with all the crew. :) Peace Out. Jay

Today has been a really good days sailing,with the sun shining in the sky and the wind in the sails. Sun,Sea and sailing what more could you ask for.
