Day 20
Forecast not good for the next few days.  Wind will still be from the East or North East and we need a South or South Westerly.  Also as tide times are changing, it also becomes a problem to get out, because we need to arrive in Scarborough in the daylight.  So for a bit longer we are here. 

From where we are moored we can see this impressive Victorian water tower - which is often associated with Grimsby.  Unfortunately the whole area is closed to the public.

 

Today we decided to go on the bus to Hull and experience the "city of culture".  After what seemed like a lifetime on the bus, crossing the enormous Humber Bridge, nearly 2 hours later we arrived in Hull.  It was not exactly what we expected, but we had a roam round.  Obviously nowhere allowed dogs, so we had fish and chips outside in the freezing cold, and later a coffee, also outside in the freezing cold.  Very few outside restaurants and cafes - well done Hull!

Did manage to see Weeping Window, the cascade of ceramic poppies, which is on tour.

After loafing around for a bit longer and picking up a couple of cakes for the return journey, we sloped off down to the bus station (which together with the train station was very impressive) and got the bus back to Grimsby.  Forgot to add that the walk from the marina to the bus stop, was also pretty long.  Then I remembered we had run out of milk, so had to trudge back to Asda! By the time I got back to the boat a cup of tea was waiting (thank you Perry), but Bertie had completely passed out.

Not sure what is on for tomorrow.  Perhaps another exciting magical mystery tour....
