In Whitby.

We put the first load in the washing machine before the morning shower. Unfortunately, someone beat us to the dryer, which took an hour and a half for each cycle, and we had two loads. 

I topped up the diesel tank and containers. After a chat with the marina supervisor, we moved Calviere II to a less used pontoon so she wouldn't be in the way whilst I wasn't going to be around. We are now moored next to the Fishery Patrol vessel. 

After a fortifying ice cream we set off up the 199 steps to Whitby Abbey, which overlooks the town. In the bright warm sunshine it was necessary to stop for a sit down, which also gave us the opportunity to take in the views. 

We sat down in the churchyard and watched Whitby at play and at work below. 

The climb down the steps back into town was far easier. We rewarded ourselves with a pint in The Duke of York, watching the busy day trip boats picking up and dropping off their passengers. 

We prepared Calviere II for leaving her in the early hours of tomorrow. Our coach to London leaves at 07:00.
