We organise "Cruises in Company" to various locations on the Northumberland and North Yorkshire coast., throughout the year. We enjoy sailing together and usually organise some sort to social event for the evenings, a meal or a drink at a local hostelry.
We have learned that the weather combines to disrupt our plans in the programme, in most cases we will change the destination to overcome the problems created by the weather. very few weekend cruises have been cancelled, but many have not reached the planned destination. we attempt whenever possible to go away on the planned weekends, we will continue to adapt the programme to suit the weather.

Gerry McGill and Peter Mitchell Cruised upriver in Parramatta on Tuesday 29th Sept. With a combination of sail rowing and the trusty Seagull, they managed to pass under ten bridges.The final bridge, Lamb Bridge is just past Lambton Castle which towers over a small boat. About half a mile passed Lamb Bridge they came to shallow rapids, so with the tide just starting to fall they had to return. Pictures here
