YM appears to be lost!

[Captn D]

I was puzzled by photo in this month’s YM (August 20), page 34, supposed to be showing an AIS display of a very crowded Solent. On closer inspection it is in fact showing the Singapore Straits! Not that it effects the article. Just being pedantic.

August?

 

[Just_sayin']

July but valid point ?

I think that in Singapore AIS is compulsory for all boats so it's not surprising that it's a bit crowded.

Not for the first time. An article of mine last year showed a chart of the Lizard to illustrate my words about Bardsey Sound.

Yes, a curious choice of picture. Perhaps Gosport is going to be renamed Singapore on Solent By Bozo?

Surely just a picture of Osborne bay in lockdown. Is it true you can walk across Newtown creek this weekend without touching water as someone created a boat raft?

Yesterday the marina car park was barely half full and little different to the middle of last week

On a normal sunny bank holiday weekend finding a decent parking spot would be tricky

With the witterings ? closed Prinstead is starting to look like Southend with day trippers -there will ice cream vans next

 

[Lucky Duck]

There was an ice cream van in one of the car parks just off the road that runs along the foreshore at Stokes Bay

There was quite a few people on the Witterings beach mid-week as there is nothing to stop you being there if you are 'creative' with car parking

 

[ashtead]

The residents of prinstead are becoming increasingly fed up with creative car parking. I think they need some Devonian police tactics down there to stop the immigrants from out of county.

Surely just a picture of Osborne bay in lockdown.

It’s not too busy this morning - only about 20 yachts or so this morning. Also calmer than usual with fewer ships
