Dan and young family from the USA enjoying some sport on the mackerel

We had a great night on Friday welcoming aboard Dan and his family, who had only just arrived from the USA a day earlier.

After having some lunch in the Lock restaurant, Dan and his family headed out with us down the River Tyne to see the beautiful North East coastline and find some fish. The sea was flat with a gusty but warm offshore wind, which didn't phase the kids one bit.

We found the mackerel and some smaller codling for a bit of sport, whilst sheltering under the cliffs.

After enjoying a little break and re-fueling with some snacks, we headed back home taking in the sights, with a stunning sunset for good measure.
