May 2009 Grimsby to Scarborough

Our first proper cruise this year. After being out the water for two weeks in April Zigzu's hull has a new coat of paint, new anti-foul and is ready for the off. We were originally going to Holland but due to crew changes we decided to go for Holy Island in Northhumberland instead. Our first port of call was Scarborough. We had a lovely day for our journey but light airs from the north east so the motor did most of the sailing. The new moorings at Scarborough are on pontoons and very nice, unfortunately the channel that has been dredged alongside the pontoon is only wide enough for one boat unless it is high water. This means that you can only get out if no one is behind you. Several people were going aground passing on the outside of the moored boats. The harbour master was very pleasant and helpful. A pleasant and comfortable mooring.
