| BEACH BUOY AND 2 DOGS ARRIVED AT 16-16. THE FOG WAS STILL HANGING AROUND. THERE WAS A NICE BREEZE FROM THE NORTH. THE CAR PARK WAS FAIRLY FULL. THE FOG BUZZER WARNING SIGNAL.(A LITTLE LIKE A HEARING TEST NOISE.)WAS BUZZING AWAY TO THE SOUTH. A FAMILY WERE ON THE BEACH PLAYING WITH RADIO CONTROLLED VEHICLES. THE LADY OF THE GROUP PULLED A PUSHCHAIR ALONG THE SAND AS IT'S ONE TIME OCCUPANT HELD ON AS SHE WALKED AT THE SIDE OF IT. THE NOISIEST BOAT IN THE WORLD STILL CHUGGED AROUND THE BAY IN A CLOAK OF INVISIBILITY. AROUND A DOZEN SEAGULLS SAT AT THE WATER'S EDGE; THEIR FEET IN THE WATER AND THEIR HEADS FACING THE FRESHENING BREEZE. THE NOISIEST BOAT IN THE WORLD BECAME QUIETER FOR A FEW MOMENTS AS PERHAPS THEY HAD STOPPED TO CHECK SOME CRAB OR LOBSTER POTS? |

| THE TROUPE TURNED AT THE WW2 DEFENCES , DOWN BY THE NORTH GARE PIER; THE NORTH SIDE OF THE RIVER TEES. A SKYLARK SANG OUT BUT IT APPEARED THAT THE SAND MARTIN HAD BEEN GROUNDED BY THE FOG? NO AERIAL DISPLAY TONIGHT! FISHERMEN SAT HALFWAY ALONG THE GARE, TRYING THEIR LUCK. A MAN STOOD WEST OF THEM, ON THE SPILL OF CONCRETE THAT SERVES AS A MODERN DAY PIER REPAIR. HE VIEWED HARTLEPOOL BAY (WHAT COULD BE SEEN IN THE FOG.) AND SEEMED TO BE WONDERING WHAT BEACH BUOY WAS UP TO. FOR THE RECORD HE WAS JOTTING NOTES IN A BOOK ABOUT A MAN STOOD ON A PIER! ON THE WAY BACK BEACH BUOY THOUGHT HOW NICE THE BREEZE WAS ON HIS FACE; REFRESHING. MORE SEAGULLS HAD SET UP CAMP ON THE BEACH, SOME WERE PREENING THEMSELVES; ROLLING THEIR HEADS BACK OVER AND SORTING OUT THEIR WING FEATHERS. |

| BEACH BUOY PHOTOGRAPHED THE RECENT FINDS. LATER THAT NIGHT HE DID HIS BLOG AS THE SOUND OF THE TORRENTIAL RAIN ON THE VELUX WINDOW ABOVE HIM ALMOST SENT HIM TO SLEEP. SO VERY RELAXING! BEACH BUOY. |
