Scarborough - Day 3

Sunday 5th August 2012 - Scarborough - Day 3

Low Tide

The picture shows Selene just floating alongside the visitors' pontoon at a low spring tide.  The trawler opposite as you can see is high and dry.
We decided to have a full day in Scarborough but first had to sort out some of the problems we had encountered on the way down.
First the mast rig had to be tensioned to take the slack out of the back stays.  The new forward carpet outside the heads had to be cut away for easier opening/closing of the door.  The fresh water tank had to be flushed out to remove the excess chlorine to make the tea more palatable.

Weatherspoons

After a long walk up the hill we arrived at Weatherspoons.  Picture shows Jack and Alfie waiting to go inside where we had an excellent Sunday lunch in the 'Lord Roseberry'.
Behind the main railway station we went shopping in Tescos and collected any additional items in the cheaper shops as we descended back down the hill to the sea front which was packed with day visitors.

At night into the 'Golden Ball' and from the upstairs room gave a fine view over the harbour.  At was karoke night in the 'Newcastle Packet' and some of them were quite promising.  We finished the night off in the 'Leeds Arms' watching the Olympics 100 metre final.
