Fun day in Scarborough

An unplanned extra day in Scarborough - engine troubles again!! On our way into Scarborough yesterday evening we noticed the water seperator filter was full of water and not diesel!! The same issue we had on our way into Sheerness all those weeks back, here was us hoping we had solved the problem. Cath duly drained the water, filled the filter with diesel and we motored on into Scarborough. However, on changing said fuel filter in Scarborough a rather crucial component (a wee screw that actually stops the diesel spurting out of another filter) sheared off!! Being a weekend in Scarborough no one was available to help us out of our predicament so here we are having spent a lovely chilled out day in Scarborough. It’s a very pleasant pretty town, great beach and tremendous ice cream shop - old retro style ice cream shop with big tall ice cream sundaes - needless to say we had to sample the delights so now feeling like a round pork pie!! Anyhow all grand on the good ship Scarlet this Sunday evening. Laters Karen

Shame about the engine issue as it looks as though we will now miss the quaint town of Whitby and have to head staright for Hartlepool instead.Never mind, we’ve had a great time exploring Scarborough and for Cath and Karen the challenge will be on to find a nicer ice cream than that from the Harbour Bar.Judging by how quickly their’s went down,Brad,Tim and Tom seemed to enjoy them too!Rounded off back at the boat by my first win at Uno-hopefully one of many.Bye for now.Dave

Today the weather was better. We explored Scarborough, went around the town and walked up towards the castle. views of the town and sea were really good tom.


My what a lovely day we have had. It’s been sunny and there is no better way to spend a sunny day but to go and explore. And thats just what we did. Now dinners in the oven and should be rather tasty. Well thats all for now laters every1 Tim [07/06/09 18:00]
