As I said yesterday during the final part of my visit to Whitby I took a short trip on Whitby's old lifeboat.
We went out to the marker buoy and then back. Even though it wasn't all that far it was a lot further than the other pleasure trips which seemed to hug the shoreline and I could see the importance of the buoy and the lighthouse to mark the safe channel back to port.
I haven't posted for a few days as I have been otherwise occupied but I have managed to get lots more shots which I will be able to share in coming weeks.
Today however I am returning to my selection of images from my recent visit to Whitby along the North Yorkshire coast.
I love this view of the harbour looking down from the 199 steps that lead up to the famous abbey. It was a lovely evening at the end of a great day and watching the sunset was a special treat. I live on England's west coast and so I am used to some spectacular sunsets across Liverpool Bay and the Irish Sea. I was somewhat surprised that I could watch the sun set into the sea from this spot on the east coast.
