Holy Island (Lindisfarne) to SCOTLAND

We anchored in Holy Island harbour last night and were watched by about fifty seals who appeared to think that we had ivaded their territory. They kept coming to have a look at us but didn't stay long enough for us to take a photo, they played with our anchor bouy, three of them head butting it together at one time, but they always managed to duck back under the water when the camera came out. If we ever do this trip again a better camera is a must.

We left Lindisfarne this morning and had the best sail in the world to Eyemouth. Off shore wind of force four to five on a flat calm sea. We saw speeds of eight knots on a broad reach, not bad for a country cottage of a boat.      

We arrived in Eyemouth in Scotland in no time at all and have already had time for a pint in the local and a look at the maritime museum.
