When did you first go out on the sea....be it on a Lilo, a canoe, a paddle steamer...?
I must have been around 5 years old, and it was on a fishing cobble converted for passengers in summer, at Bridlington. I was enthralled. I knew that Africa was across the sea, and suddenly I saw it, with people waiting on the beach!
Sadly, the boat had curved round, and I was looking at Bridlington Bay as we returned to the harbour.
After that voyage, we had to go on a boat every time we went to the seaside, either the Yorkshire Belle from Brid, or Coronia from Scarborough.
