Join us as we continue our life afloat on our Etap 28i, Takaza, and finally make it across the border into Scotland! In this episode, we set off from Amble and head north, sailing along the coast as we make our way towards Eyemouth. The sail gives us some beautiful views of the coastline and plenty of time to enjoy life afloat as we cross the border into Scotland. Once we arrive in Eyemouth, we explore this small and historic fishing town on the Scottish Borders, taking a look around the harbour and discovering some of the wildlife that calls the area home. There’s plenty going on around the water, with seabirds, seals and other wildlife making the harbour a great place to explore. Thanks for coming along with us and supporting our life afloat.
