Some Pix from a very warm and very flat Bank Holiday Weekend

The Jetskis came out to play.

Yarmouth was busy, but we squeezed in.

Hurst Castle was rather more relaxing.

And back home to watch the Sun set, having successfully completed the "Oh No, will we be able to dock in a Force 2".

Love the shot of EJ. Managed to squeeze her in between the ribs & sports boats so the charter guests could enjoy the delights of Yarmouth. The benefits of still calm weather is you can perform berthing miracles

Love be the last picture.

Did you focus in on the bird?

Yes, although it was Mrs FP that took that one.

It's days/weekends like these that I envy everyone whose boat isn't 1500 miles away.
Great set of pics.

The South Coast weather Gods certainly need a big thank you the best BH weather I can remember, absolutely perfect for us Mobo's. Not sure what the Rag and Stick brigade thought of it, but it was 'chilling out' weather for all.

We managed two trips out over an extended Bank Holiday weekend.

On Friday we went over to Yarmouth, stopping to do some wakeboarding on the way and then walking into town for lunch. It was a lovely day with low winds but a strange chop in the Solent that made the return ride uncomfortable (Easterly wind). It was nice enough to take my new drone for a quick flight over Yarmouth.

On Sunday we went to Cowes to see the start of the Cowes-Torquay-Cowes Powerboat race. Again there was a very annoying chop to the water which was counter to the windless day. We think it was a combination of eastery wind, incoming tide and a confusion of wakes. We retired to the complete calm of Newtown Creek which was a great choice as it was hot, windless and calm. It was full of boats all BBQing, swimming etc. a real summer experience.

Here are some pictures from both days mixed together.
