Great to get your NE news John, made me quite homesick. I can't recognise the attitude you are meeting but it was a looong time ago when I hung out in the area, so for sure a new generation has emerged. As for wanting your money, well that's rip-off Britain for you - is it any different on the south coast? Good friends of mine in Whitby kept their yacht in Holland at a fraction of the price they paid in the UK - caught the Hull-Rotterdam ferry to stay for the summer.

Staithes (secure to anchor but rather exposed so pick a settled period) - Coquet - Holy Island (Lindesfarne), which is fantastic but watch the anchor when the flood surges over the causeway, there was always a lot of kelp down there and I would take a fisherman to dig through. Been there, done that, all the way up to the Forth, many times.

Hey, wandered a bit off thread here, sorry folks.

Still can't figure why you have such a weather helm problem - or did I miss summat???

Best, Brian.
