On the move again!

After an unexpectedly long but very pleasant stay in Lowestoft the wind finaly died down enough for the planned long trip to Whitby. We met several couples and one lone sailor also doing the round and waiting for weather who we are hoping to bump into again as we progress round. (Many thanks to Mike for the beers and have you set off yet?) Also made friends amongst the sailing club members, a lovely bunch of people.
We left just before midnight on Tuesday, sailed for thirty hours and avoided the sand banks, oil platforms windfarms and any number of ships, tows etc. We did hit a lobster pot during the night at night but fortunately it stayed put.
Came through to Whitby Marina on the seven o'clock bridge opening and then, after Bob had fixed the alternator which had decided to stop working yesterday, we promptly fell asleep.

After a nap we explored the town, walking up the many steps to the ruined Abbey

From which the views were splendid.

Putting in lots of Pictures because of the various family associations with Whitby, (love to you all)

Pity it wasn't a brighter day, we seem to have lost the sunshine with the high winds but no rain as yet.
