Bridlington- Pirate Ship, Speedboat Ride, Yorkshire Belle.
Jet- ski high speed thrills, Bridlington in Summer Sun.

Observe the mastery of sailing skills and hand signals as the two wooden sail boats ( Cobles) enter the harbour together. Two fish offered from smaller boat after hand signal? from bigger boat, with the red sail.

( that alleged hand signal means something else in Leeds….don’t give that hand signal to a fishmonger in Leeds if you want two mackerel… )

Lots of interest at harbour entrance as boats enter and exit ( in the hour that I was there without any collisions.)

Actually .. everything was really good today. Sun and no cloud, high tide, WARM.
Bridlington at it’s best! Even the harbour water was clear and green at the entrance as the tide pushed back the poo laden river that flows into the far end..

To be serious for a moment.
It does look beautiful doesn’t it? Blue sky and a pale green sea, calm sea and people wearing t shirts.
There’s a brutal reality though of survival times in UK waters and this of course applies to Bridlington Bay and the sea in this video.
Survival time is measured in minutes if someone is immersed in the sea - as for example in a boat sinking.

Look up ‘survival times in the North Sea’ in a Google search for the details.

Long ago..
I was standing on the harbour wall in the 1950’s as a child and the harbour was full of pleasure boats. A Navy friend of our family shuddered at the scene. He said, most people would be killed by the cold in 30 minutes if a boat went down - and that due to a lack of compartments it would mean a plunge straight to the bottom.

I was there when one of the larger wooden pleasure cruisers sank rapidly by the stern outside the harbour entrance. Thankfully in only 5 feet of water.

If you walk the south beach you’ll see black particles in the sand sometimes - in streaks where the wave action has stratified the lighter black particles in lines over the heavier quartz sand. ( visible in one of my other videos of Bridlington)
The black particles are coal, not from an undersea coal seam - but from a terrible disaster and loss of life here as boats carrying coal sank in the bay, during a storm.
That was over 100 years ago and the coal still washes up.

It certainly focuses respect onto the people who earn their living on the sea and go out there in bad weather.

Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed the video :-)
