50TH ANNIVERSARY SIGHTINGS
FRIDAY, 19 NOVEMBER 2010
SOUTH GARE, RIVER TEES

EURO CORALLO



















What I've not told you yet is that the sea was pretty rough - waves breaking well up the height of the lighthouse at the end of the Gare .... so no fishing today! But the surfers were out, although I'd never before seen them some distance inside the river, but they were having a good time! Here a couple of them wait for a decent wave as the EURO CORALLO sails past. I did try to get "action" shots, but didn't succeed!
