Consciously trying to absorb such a perfect atmosphere feeling part of the relaxed pace of Friday evening life around the harbour, I watched the crew until I couldn't see them any longer. The quiet was disturbed by the timely song of a curlew coming from the sandbank visible in the low tide. I looked towards the north side hoping to see the curlew but it was dusk, silhouettes of seabirds, martins and waders dotted themselves indistinguishably along the ruins of the staithes, over the sandbank and through the air.
A short evening, it passed just too fast, but so beautiful.
The Lifeboat crew did not get much rest, they were called out to assist local vessel 'Fidelity' in difficulty 22 miles out to sea, thankfully the evening ended in happy conclusion.
