That’s a first

Posted by Allan C. on 30/10/2025, 11:33 am

Having breakfast overlooking Seahouses harbour and a car towing a trailer filled with logs pulls up.

Then one of the boats pulls round to the slipways and they load all the logs onto it.

Loading complete and boat goes off to the the Inner Farne. So logs wound be for the keepers house on the Inner Farne.

No doubt getting stuff before winter storms prevent supplies getting to the Islands.

Just at the right place at the right time!

And that's a lovely picture to imagine.

They launched the Seahouses lifeboat but I missed that but saw the tractor and launching cradle being retuned to the Boathouse.

The lifeboat was on its cradle and in the boathouse later this afternoon.

What a bit of kit it is!

It is a Shannon Class boat which cost over 2 million pounds to the RNLI for each boat.

It’s a fantastic piece of kit, boat, tractor and cradle (trailer)

Had a good look at it this evening. Before it closed.
