Not windy though just heavy smirr, need the wind to clear it away

Not so nice but does look to be clearing up a wee bit

Hopefully the sun will shine over the Toon this afternoon.....

Well it turned out to be a excellent day for all despite the slight rain fall as the brass band were peforming. A large crowd turned up to support the local lifeboat and other rescue services. A big thanks to the chopper crew from HMS Gannet for a daredevil bit of flying of which they are well trained on, the lifeboat and inshore and not to mention Coxy who had to be rescued by his own after ramming the Beaver ashore (for exercise) .There was also a visit by the Solent Class lifeboat the Storm.The site of the yachts with there coloured sails on the loch racing out to Davaar Island was also not to be missed, and not to forget all the stall holders,the pony rides and as I mentioned already the brass band.I hope Mr Kerr has his voice back today after his commentory yesterday .
