The Farnes are my old stomping ground & I've never launched at Blyth, so I might be up for it depending on when you're thinking of.

How about launching at Amble, look around Coquet island, up to the Farnes, club a few seals. Fish & chips in Seahouses. Visit Lindisfarne, Berwick, or both & back for tea. About a 70nm round trip.

The big fat knacker of a harbour master is very anti-RIB at seahouses, very un-friendly. It used to be an old chap called George, a true gent, sadly passed on.

Can you not land? Tourist boats do land. I thought you could land, but there was a fee. Only ever been on a tourist boat.

We launched our rib at Seahouses a couple of months ago, diving a wreck & out with the seals etc. The harbour master is a rather large chap I agree. But we were polite & courteous to him & had no problems. As long as you let him know what you intend to do. In fact it was very rough the day we wanted to launch & he initially wouldn't let us. But we let him know we were just doing some training drills for that morning around the harbour area & he was fine about it. We kept the boat overnight for 2 nights in the harbour with good protection at a cost of £30 per night including the launch fees. Hope this may be of use to you?
