OCTOBER 19, 2026. JUST A BIKE RIDE.
Just a bike ride.
Seaton Carew to Middleton and back.
New building going on.
Middleton Pier.
The sea was quite rough.
On the way back Beach Buoy passed the lady who did the Pottery tuition.

at 7 a.m.
The Beach Access Ramp was a bit of a wind tunnel.
Beach Buoy collected five suitable stones.
There was plenty to choose from.
There was a strong but fairly mild wind blowing in off the sea to the east.
Ghost fishing gear.
Placed in Beach Bag.
It would be going in the bin.
There was no one on the beach to the North.
Beach Buoy headed south.
He walked the water's edge.
The tide was a canny way out but the wreck was still hidden by the sea and possibly sand too?
A man overtook up on the Strand-line.
He had a unusual walk.
It looked a little like one of those fake Big Foot films.
Thankfully, he went beyond the low level route, towards the North Gare Pier.
Artificial light lit sea front windows.
The Sun had yet to shine.
Once again, three Crows were monitoring Beach Buoy's progress.
Again, one chose the driftwood lookout point.

He added two sturdy stones to the sea defence.
Up the small slope.
"Morning Mate."
Beach Buoy added five suitable stones.
He patted
THE
stone.
He scattered some seeds.
He topped up the wildlife water bowl.
He had a stand and a think.
"See you mate."
As expected, the Crows flew to Stubborn Dog Stack.
Beach Buoy found a fishing boat tag
It is from Salcombe, Devon which is odd.
Things usually come down from the north.
He had even found a message in a bottle from Shetland.
This somehow has arrived from way down south.
He Googled the Boat.
It is bright red in colour.
He headed back north.
The tide was coming in.
Back to the Car Park.
Not Not Beach Buoy led the way.

A cold wind blew from the north.
He headed south, wind assisted.
