Scarborough - Tuesday 23rd August 2011 - Day 104
We moved the boat in the morning onto the visitors pontoon and the rain/drizzle came in the afternoon.

Scarborough is a very popular sea side resort with lots of day visitors keeping children occupied in these weather conditions must be very tasking as they cannot spend all the time in amusement arcades. Jack went off shopping while I stay on board in the dry, blogging.
At night, the rain eased off and ashore to the quayside Newcastle Packet pub which is full of photographs of the old fishing boats and pictures of the characters who must of been regulars in the pub.
A walk up the hill brings you into the centre of the town where we found Lord Roseberry a Weatherspoons pub where we had an excellent Aberdeen angus steak.

On our way back we passed a very lively pub and went inside the Merchant. The sailors inside were taking part in the 707 national sailing championship and holding their party after completing four races that day in the rain. It was all very friendly as we exchanged our sailing experiences but not to be outdone when it was time to leave, we were invited to a nightclub. Off we went and the party continued, it was just like the old days for me and Jack. The taxi back in the wee hours safely returned us to our boat after a memorable night ashore.
