The Solent, which is the water between Isle of Wight and the mainland, fascinates me, the water is always busy, all the large vessels have to pass in-front of the Isle of Wight, to get into the ports of Southampton and Portsmouth. Watching the huge vessels as they all sailed past was interesting, two cross channel ferries as well as freight.
We had another lovely walk, not as far as the previous day, but we stayed dry, had a later fish and chip lunch, we must remember to do this more often.
Always so much to see there. Fish and chips taste so much nicer by the sea.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a busy stretch of water. It's good to be able to get out and about when it's fine. I was hoping to take a stroll with Archie today but it's dull and drizzly, I'm hoping it will brighten up a bit later on.

ReplyDeleteGreat pictures you captured with your camera, its really busy along that stretch of the coast.
ReplyDeleteThe solent holds a fascination for me too. I think it’s the improbable size of the vessels that use it.
