    Nice pics, David; that's a lovely one of you and Casey on the training ship.
    Shame about the weather though.

    The Grand Turk normally lives in Whitby so quite a journey to get it there - wonder if it went around Scotland or England to reach Whitehaven?

    Great shots, you and Casey seem to be enjoying yourselves despite the weather.

    Here are a couple of pictures I took of the ship in Whitby in July last year:
