No words needed - the pictures say it all. I could add a few of my own from Cowes and Ryde yesterday.
I even managed a swim without the wetsuit; but it was a bit marginal and ten minutes was quite enough!
Thanks for posting.

That Bill Bryson book should be compulsory reading for every child in secondary school. Brilliant book!

Totally agree, however I must admit having to read most pages twice just to absorb the information!

Oh yes... anchored in alum bay recently hence why it was so prominent, its a little card I made up that has served me very well over the years... its 3 times depth so I add a bit if weather/tides dictate.

We were there as well - brilliant weekend. With what seemed like half the boats from the Christchurch River turning up making it really busy, and the sunshine, it had a mid summer vibe
By the looks of things we were only berthed a few spaces further down the pontoon from you, we were directly opposite the Hardy in this pic.

Indeed, I saw you arrive as I thought you might be a certain other forumite with an sc35.

Although slightly belated, we were there celebrating my 40th birthday as we had managed to pack our children off for the weekend! I have to say, for those that haven’t been, Yarmouth on the rocks restaurant is absolutely fantastic. We had one of the best meals we have had in ages - brilliant atmosphere, service and food all made for a top night. I totally recommend it!!!
Firefly, pop over and say hi next time - it would be great to put faces to names

indeed I will do!
Also agree with you ref "On The Rocks", you do come out smelling like you have cooked your own food.... but service and quality of meat 100%, side salad and frites you could not better... I think the concept is just brilliant, no chef or big kitchen required, but you need a place like Yarmouth to make it work... can't see it catching on in Weybridge.
