Sunday 28th June : Eyemouth.

By 10-00 some early morning rain had cleared, so we dropped off the mooring and headed out from West Bay at North Berwick towards Bass Rock to see the gannetry. 

 Bass Rock, a sight to behold.

Gannets everywhere ! 

It's not icing !

After a great visit to Bass Rock we turned south towards St. Abbs Head. At 13-30 we heard Humber Coastguard for the first time in four years, our round trip from Hartlepool is nearly over.

It was nice to have calm conditions and prior knowledge of the entrance to Eyemouth, as it can be a little daunting the first time, the Canyon is only 60' wide!

We had been into Eyemouth in 'Norman James' before, when we were permanently berthed in Hartlepool Marina in 2011, so in sense our circumnavigation of mainland UK was now compete. However, our return to Hartlepool would mark the formal end of our endeavour.

In the evening we celebrated with a fish & chip supper at the appropriately named 'Contented Sole' pub. A little later we had a walk and took a few more photo's.
