Yesterday morning the tides were exceptionally low and the weather couldn't have been better for a trip to Coquet Island. Davy and I took his Triton coble Ocean Dawn so we could get close into the gullies. The seals have already arrived there in their hundreds getting ready for their breeding season.
They come south from the Farne Islands and make the most of the rich fishing grounds. Until the puffins come they have the island to themselves.
We didn't come back empty handed and the supper of lobster and very fresh mussles couldn't have tasted better after such a good trip. But this is just an early start to the season
