A stunning day today on the Solent

Great pics MBT, why the flak explosion over the type 45 though?....:)

I think that it was some sort of generator starting up, it was cold & still so the black plume lasted a long while. It might be that the person that gives you an accurate explanation, they might have to shoot you afterwards :)

about 20 degrees warmer & it would have been ideal

All that in one day? You were shifting... :D

Thanks for the piccue of the Nab - they really are taking it back to bare bones.... I took this only a couple of years ago, so you can see the difference!

I seem to have less ropes than you have Fantasie 19 so I can go faster :) I cruise at 27kts so going round the IOW takes just over 2 hrs, I could go flat out at 38kts but would only be able to afford one trip a year.
The tower looks in better condition in your picture than it looks now. There were a few workmen working on it but the only one wearing a yellow tabbard (not life jacket) was fishing !
