For those awaiting news of boating, Esk Belle II was sold (gone to Tenby) and is currently replaced by two smaller wooden boats. Each carries about 60 persons and no bar.

A 'normal' trip to Staithes is planned for Monday 20th, but but this is open to the public and may be of more limited appeal to festival-goers. A folk special has not been arranged.
