Just enjoyed reading drewstwos report on his day with Kwackers and littleship and decided that what might be pretty mundane pics to you, are actually nice to flick through for others. Especially nice to see boats and places that are written about on these pages and start to put images to the descriptions... ...so, here's a load of random pics from the last 2 weeks I had on my Hardy, Seabird. Hope they might be of interest to others...
I always insist SWMBO and daughter are in a constant state of readiness to launch themselves into action when we are on the water......
fellow Hardy owners the RNLI decided to drop into Yarmouth...
Seabird getting into the holiday mood..
rafting up... Yarmouth style.
..ever wondered what's up the top of the Yar... well Freshwater of course...not much to see at the end.. but a beautiful dingy ride
The top of the Yar is so peaceful we did feel we were disturbing this chap having a sail... very nice..
Not always peaceful though, Yarmouth Lifeboat on the throttles;
The Yarmouth sunset.. I think we all have a photo of this sunset don't we?
Parents met us in Yarmouth... Sailing boats are annoying to take pictures of, by the time the top of the mast is in the shot the boat is too far away!
off to Cowes.. and the wake shot...
Into Island Harbour... Oh... what's happened to the view!! Massive construction of a wind turbine testing facility.. in the background. Only in the UK could planning for such a monstrous building get through in an area of natural beauty..
Plus side, Island Harbour bistro now called Breeze, with another lot of new owners and chef and was really good... very good food and didn't wait long..
Trying to persuade folks to get Davits fitted to their boat, I am sure my Hardy would hang off there nicely!
After a few days escaped Cowes week and went to Beaulieu
look at all the raggies...
another dingy trip up to Beaulieu village this time, off to the teddy bear shop... yes really! ;
.... Yes, it starts with a "B"!!!
While I was at Bucklers Hard decided to get a mast installed on the wheelhouse
Look at that... Sun setting, warm weather, beers cold, bowl of peanuts, no sign of SWMBO or Daughter...a good book ready to read....does it get any better than this???
..Then back to Yarmouth again for a few days... Seabird even more in the Holiday mode by now..
Believe it or not I had a few more pictures... didn't realise there was a limit of just 20.... Ok, but perhaps its just a well..!!!
Sorry to have bored you... !
