Changing tack again. I had a wonderful dinner in by Newcastle Harbour last Thursday evening and was fortunate enough to watch as the wonderful tugs escorted three empty ?colliers into safe harbour. I love watching tugs at work and from where I was eating you could feel the throb of their motors coming through the water and into the restaurant.
The last one came in just after night had set in and the lights on all the vessels were on. It made me think about the fact that in ports all around the world that sort of activity was happening and how much we depend on sea going vessels for so many things we use in our daily lives.
I applaud all who have gone to the sea in ships.
