Week 10 - Sunday - Scarborough

Just arrived in Scarborough after a very misty trip.

This is the first leg with my Mum, and i have never been so indecisive about whether to set off or not!

In the end Tom decided - "lets go, I want to be there in time to watch the Grand Prix!"

Visibility was down to .5 miles, so we did not see much of the coast. There was a big swell running but no wind. Mom looked worried and got fed up with me asking if she was ok. Apparently she always looks worried, even though she isn't, so I will stop asking in the future!

Leaving early was a shock for Tom - as he has not seen the morning for at least 2 years! Do not worry though, he managed to catch a couple of hours extra kip while the old man steered!

We did not have breakfast, so decided to eat when we arrived at 10:30. Mom was totally confused as she has a rigid food routine at home. She could not decide whether to have her breakfast, mid morning snack or lunch!

Off now to find a pub with the tennis and grand prix on.
