Our new crew have arrived and seem to have settled in pretty quickly. Although, I suppose this is a little easier as both Jay and Michael were sailing with us on leg 2, so are pretty familiar with the way things are on Scarlet. We spent a great evening playing cricket in the park followed by a great dinner cooked by our chefs Jay and Michael. I have a feeling were in for a treat on the food front this week. Jodie and Lauren have gone off with Simon to stock up on a couple more ingredients… to make things like chocolate muffins. Yum!
I’ve been really impressed with the service at Royal Quays Marina. The staff have been really friendly and helpful. Thank you to all at Royal Quays for making us so welcome!
The facilities are also pretty good, and I am particularly impressed with the recycling facilities. We can actually recycle most things (including plastic bottles). They even had bins for used oil filters, not something you see in every marina.
We have a really good leg lined up, with slightly shorter day hops out sailing, but also going to Farne Islands, a nature reserve close to the Scottish Border.
Newcastle is our last major English stop for quite a while, and it won’t be long till we cross the border to Scotland. Yet another accent to get used to!
We’re off to enjoy the sunshine and fair breeze for an afternoon of gentle sailing up to Amble.
Cheers, Cath
