No you’re okay, this is nothing to do with Billy Cotton or his band so you can stand easy shipmates… 
Actually now I come to think about it, this image has more in common with the excellent Debbie Harry and Blondie than it does with Billy Cotton… hey ho. 
Parallel Lines
It may be the salty old dog in me, but I really rather like watching a ship’s wake.

Coastal Sand Barge
There was even a dog, but no sign of Griff Rhys Jones, Dara O ‘Briain and Rory McGrath! Come to that this has nothing to do with Jerome K. Jerome either, but there really were three men in this old tub I spotted cruising slowly in to Whitby harbour.
There’s quite an interesting swing bridge on the River Esk that joins the north and south sides of Whitby town; without it craft like this barge and the trawler I featured yesterday would be unable to reach the new harbour-side.

Home is the sailor, home from sea
Home is the sailor, home from sea
Now there’ll be fish-fingers for the kids’ tea,
Whether Fleetwood or Whitby, Kilkeel or Portlea
Thank God for the sailor home from the sea.
