[Firefly625]

just random pics from a Sunday sailor, thought I would share

Hamble River

11 knot wake shot..

WTF . note aerials on masts... met him by Hampsted ledge, not sure where he was headed, my guess was Dover.

with my house in the background.

Yarmouth sunset

Fellow forumite, Jamielangstone boat in foreground, nice chap.

didn't look so nice Monday morning.. headed out at just after 8am and not much point hanging around..

Looks like Captain Haddock had made an appearance..

Apex doing its stuff

for those tug fans (like me), you may like to know Apex is powered by two Rolls-Royce Bergen (Rolls-Royce Marine AS) C25:33L8P main engines that can produce a total of 6,850 bhp to power a pair of five bladed Voith Schneider cycloidal propulsion units.... nice eh!

:encouragement: Thanks for sharing. When I see some of the Med trip reports and quality thereof I get shy to report my own instamatic point and shoot stuff, but tbh I prefer to see some of the local scenes and reports which are more accessible for us local boaters

Thanks Bruce, I do enjoy the med guys reports, and Henry's videos that are so well edited, but frankly I have not got the time or TBH the inclination to edit and post such lovely reports, but I do take a few snaps with my old point and squirt camera and don't mind sticking them on here as I think its only fair as I enjoy others posting pics of quite mundane trips out so I spend 5 mins doing this post so others can scan though some pics while they eat their lunch.

Actually I just like posts that are not all about broken equipment...

Thanks for posting. I have been away from the boat for some time and am getting withdrawal symptoms. We hope to be down next weekend.

Yarmouth is always good - even when the raggies are in town This weekend is going to be even better by the look of it.

its a stunning place with stunning views, not many houses I get excited about, but always look with envy at that place.

Very nice pictures and a very enjoyable report. Thank you for taking the time to post it.

That Captain Haddock -ship looks indeed very Haddosque.
