Not the most pleasant reason for being here, but Scarborough has lots to see. I made my way (very slowly) from Whitby, where the issues in engine cooling went from concerning to critical. I had changed the main impeller in Whitby, on the advice of the local experts, and thought that would solve the problems. Not so: in fact, the main engine heat exchanger has failed, with a combination of long standing corrosion, over-wintering deposits , and sudden disruption of those sediments. In short, rebuild the heat exchanger- and it is made in Europe, by an unknown (no makers’ mark, number plate or identification…). So, I await the local experts’ advice and assistance.
I’ve been able to ring with the locals on a wonderful ring of 10, and they push the envelope! First ring in three new methods last night at practice. Nothing like a challenge.
I have explored the local castle- prominent on the headland, with commanding views, the town, and many nooks and crannies on the boat that deserved attention. Not exciting, but likely helps to prevent issues later…
