Well you can't see the boats really, they were somewhere over to the left.
I had taken a trip upto Newcastle to visit my Daughter Emma and her Partner, Ralph.
We visited Tynmouth to take a look at the sailing club there as Emma is looking for a club to join and sail PoppyCock from. Tynmouth do have an Enterprise fleet so could be a good club to join.
We took a walk out along the North Pier and saw a group of dinghies near the south Shields shore but they were so small they were lost in the picture,
probably better seen in this picture.
probably better seen in this picture. Newcastle itself is a fair bit further down the river but the enterance is quite a wide expanse of water.

Hmmm. No boats and hardly any city. Not exactly what I had in mind. Nice sky though.
I remember Newcastle as having dramatic river views with all those bridges across the Tyne. Never saw any sailboats when I was there though back in the 60s as it was always winter when I was visiting.
If you don't believe there is sailing in Newcastle have a look at this lot on

and it's in winter, half a mile (or sometimes a lot less)from the Tyne Bridge.
