Whitby Pirate Day


Happy talk like a pirate day and of course my birthday, as you may remember I was traveling down to Whitby with my nieces.
After a peaceful journey to Whitby we had to get the harbour to raise the road bridge to let the heron threw, we moored up and all got out to stretch our legs. we got there early on Saturday morning so had plenty of time to cook some breakfast before we wandered around in our pirate outfits. There was lots of people in pirate hats and we said hello to all the pirates we saw. As we got closer to the beach we could hear music, there was people on the bandstand dressed as pirates singing and playing. my nieces loved it, they played the games, decorated a sword each and had their faces painted to look like they had an eye patch of course my nieces insisted on having theirs pink. We also met Captain Jack Sparrow, who is always where the party is, he posed for pictures and was helping raise money. The whole day they were raising money for the RNLI, that is where they use brilliant volunteers to help save anyone who is in trouble at sea or on the coast. They have wonderful lifeboats and helicopters that can save someone life, they do amazing work all around the country to not only rescue but to teach people about the dangers that are around the coast so that they can avoid getting into trouble and need to be rescued.
We had brilliant day and will be there next year for another Whitby pirate day, hope to see you there.
