And the sun it did shine!

[Solitaire]

So one had to go boating. Spottydog has a new toy and as the sun was shinning it was decided to go and have a play. So after collecting a certain Mr Griffin in Cowes we headed off to Lymington. Now the video of the trip is still in production, but here are a few stills to show that the sun really did shine today.

The new toy!

Long walk off a short pier!!

Great video..
Question??
I hav nt been to Lymington for about 9 months, What on earth is that being built by the railway bridge..
I always remember it being a small industrial estate. Toll Bridge Trailers.. Chicken Processing Factory.. and at one time 2 or 3 MTB houseboats.. I know that was years ago, but that scaffold in your last picture looks a bit high...
I knew the weather was going to be great today when I booked to take my boat out for a couple of weeks, for its annual wash and brush up.....Typical....Anodes were almost gone so about time I suppose..

It's a housing development, mixture of apartments and villas. The 4 bed with mud view are £1.7m! http://www.redrow.co.uk/developments/lymington-shores-lymington

Why are there cabin roof hatches in the deck of the RIB?

HeHe, that was in case there was any danger of Tim's wallet coming out, it didn't, nothing new there....

Clamped to the A frame. This video was shot using MUVI HD. I am editing a longer version which uses GoPro as well.
