Couple of pics & video / Solent on 12th/13th March

[Firefly625]

Couple of pics and an video, nothing very interesting but our first weekend away this year after boat back in the water last week. Weather forecast pretty good for March so off to Yarmouth (no surprise there).

Only problem with off season boating out the Hamble is you have to negotiate the dinghy racers to get in or out the river...

but once out the river... Solent nice and empty

couple of these chaps pottering about in the fog

not quite sure what they were pointing at me..

....told you not that interesting, but at least a post about using a boat rather than buying one, selling one or fixing one.

I like all the boat related stuff but it sure is nice to see these 'out and about' posts again after the long winter. Thank you for posting!

Amazing what a difference a bit of blue sky makes. Thanks for posting.

Yep, lovely to see some boating videos again. Looked lovely out there. I had to work this weekend unfortunately but hoping to make up for it soon.

Thanks for posting. Weather / conditions looked better than what we normally get in the height of summer (temperatures obviously bit cooler ).

Thought you might have returned my wave when we passed on you way into the Hamble at about 1430 on Sunday.

 

[Firefly625]

Sorry Roy, I didn't see you. But my daughter obviously did as she told me someone on a rib waved, I guess that was you! Sorry, must be more observant..

 

[henryf]

Yes work.

Had someone off work on Saturday so was required in the office. The sooner I can knock it on the head the better, gets in the way of trips away

Planning an interesting trip at the moment but a bit up in the air & don't want to jinx things by saying too much.

Always appreciate a thread with trips out, also really like a video that shows the boat. Keeps me going between my own trips. Keep them coming, love it.

Not uninteresting at all - loved the pictures+movie, thanks. 9000nm ++ on the log - your boat has covered some distance and has long legs. Plus the miles not recorded by the furred-up paddlewheel
Makes me think about planning trips for this year - juggling a few ideas currently

Thanks John, is a bit dull in comparison to where she's been. She's been round the uk as far as through Caledonian canal, to IOM, Ireland, Paris, Brittany etc etc. All, shock horror, all with a single engine...

Hoping to get further a field soon, planning permission willing...

I know your trips will include blue skies and blue sea and some fab locations, will look forward to your write ups later in the year!

Great pics James, nice to see the water ☺.
Sadly work has kept us away from the boat for most of the year so far but we're off to Bucklers Hard at the weekend with ellesar ?
