Day 31, May 29th. Berwick upon Tweed.

We were going to leave Berwick this morning at some unearthly time of morning and set out for Edinburgh. I started my passage plan with a good look at the weather, it showed that the wind for the first few hours would be similar to yesterday, not good. Then I noticed the sea state would be twice as bad as yesterday, really not good, so as we were already both very tired from Saturdays passage we made the decision not to go.

A good decision as we would have missed the delights of Berwick. We spent all day exploring the massive walls of the city, the museums, the pier, the three bridges, the many coffee shops and bars. There is so much history wrapped up in this place.

Looking out to sea you would think I had been too cautious, but then look at the surf coming in and you can see it’s just an illusion. It really was quite lumpy out there.

    Glad you had time to explore Berwick, my friend has a holiday home there and really loves it. Avoiding the lumpy sea sounded like a good plan!
