Not the best of days offshore, force 5 in the morning then up to a force 6 in the afternoon, holding given co-ordinates was really fun without being able to anchor, even the Svitzer tug had problems holding.
Many boats did not turn up due to the weather but some great old timers did.

My gold medal for shear effort goes to these guys rowing the Byker Belle
