The yachts are in town.

A walk around the Quayside on a beautiful evening, was just what we needed after a day inside.
There were 58 Dutch yachts moored at the edge of the river. They are part of a friendly race around the North Sea. They left Ijmuiden in the Netherlands last weekend and have been to the Hartlepool Marina before coming to the Tyne. They are here until Saturday.
Their crews are visiting places around the area, such as Hadrian's Wall, and The Angel of the North.
