Sunday 15 June 2014 – Castletown and Port Erin

Took the steam train to Castletown, where we were again very well looked after by Richard and Liz. I put a new rubber joint on the tiller extension in Richard’s workshop, which was much better than trying to do it on the boat.  They then made an excellent barbecue which we ate looking out over the bay. We later paid a visit to the cafe at Port Erin which is one of R and L’s favourite spots

The steam train which runs from Douglas to the S of the island. Going up the hill from Douglas it managed to push a modern diesel shunting engine all the way to the next stop, where the shunting engine decoupled and let our train continue by itself.
