The sea sparkled silver. The sky blazed blue. It was the perfect day for the RSPB Family cruise from Bridlington harbour aboard the Yorkshire Belle. There were Mums, Dads, Grans, Grandads, friends, family and a dog called Harry. Everyone was mega-excited at the prospect of seeing the seabirds up close and personal...especially the puffins. So here's how the voyage got underway - from a land-lubber's point of view:
First in the queue, Madeleine, Dad and Libby wait to board
Connie brought her own puffin...along with Mum and Eddie
Mum Julie, Dad Joe and a very smiley Max
Volunteer Sarah is accused of having too much fun
The team from the RSPB local group make sure everything's ship shape
A bit of binocular practice
A wave as the engines start
Anchors aweigh
Bon voyage everyone
