Belinda & Graham were the happy couple. The day started with heavy rain and strong winds however a swift check of the Meteoradar showed that the day would clear just before the celebration started. Yes, it cleared and the ceremony enjoyed a clear sky and light winds. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The area below the swimming pool was cleared by AG Thomson's diggers & JCB recently. This ‘enjoyleisure’ site, also called the Ballroom site, was cluttered by much building rubble and fishing-gear. The diggers took away the rubble and used it to fill in the Broadhaven breakwater. Much of the fishing-gear has been tidied up and now there is a useful space.

 

 

 

 

 

Andy Hodgson is not allowed to come ashore until he's finished circumnavigating the UK so he's anchored in Dunbar harbour for a rest. Phew!

Circumnavigating the British Isles by man-power alone is w​​​​​​​​​​​​​​idely regarded as one of the toughest ocean rowing endurance challenges on the planet. Until this year however, Andy had never set foot on a boat before but now has the goal of raising £10,000 for the RNLI and MIND.​ After a few days he'll be off to London, wind and weather allowing.

Dunbar Coastal Rowing Club has taken advantage of the good summer weather, most recently organising the Tweed Row for 20 visiting skiffs (clubs from St. Andrews to Sunderland). The row is 6 miles upstream to Paxton House and the chain-link bridge, a picnic, then another 6 miles downstream.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Ross Edgley is SWIMMING round Britain! Margate-to-Margate, clockwise, a few miles every day.

In the middle of the night his supporting catamaran, 'Hecate',came in, and tied up alongside the Visitor's berth. UK strongman Ross Edgley, is on a mission to swim around the entirety of mainland Great Britain – all 2,000 miles of it; crashing coastline, unruly weather, the works.

On 1 June, he set off in a clockwise direction, swimming daily for six hours at a time. Ross will only stop to sleep on his support boat, from which he'll plot his route and vlog his progress. He plans to not touch shore until he arrives at London's Tower Bridge an estimated 100 days later; so far he's passing 115+ days.

 

An invading Roman phalanx gathered at the harbour and, ordered on by the stentorian Tribune, the centurions marched towards the Battery. They met with only light resistance (in fact, none).

 

 

 

 

 

Open-air family cinema evening by Pix in the Stix!  Sept 22nd

OUTDOOR MOVIE NIGHT; THE GREATEST SHOWMAN

“The Greatest Showman” was enjoyed as the sun went down in Dunbar’s stunning outdoor amphitheatre. A picnic and a blanket were advisable!

The show was sold out almost immediately with the organisers requesting that the audience be restricted to 80. Hope you were lucky!
