Down watching the tall ships leave the Tyne this morning. One of the royal matrine boats decided to take a short cut over the top of the black middens. It now needs two new engines and gearboxes. And to make matters worse it was afemale member of the RNLI who asked them if they would like a tow. Took me an hour to get from the Lifeboat station on the quay to my house about three miles, and that was using the back alleyways as well. Will try and post some pics tonight only took 136.
