The long pontoon at Lymington Haven

The sun was shinning so we headed to Lymington for a long weekend, an unexpected warm spell in mid September was most welcomed. We headed of on Friday the 7th and returned on Sunday 9th.
We got the dinghy out and traveled into Lymington for shopping and dinner and the sun just kept shinning......

Long Weekend 31st Aug to 2nd Sept at Bucklers Hard

Zena chilling with a glass of wine

Zena and I manage to get a long weekrnd out on the boat, so we headed for The Beaulieu River and Bucklers Hard, the summer seems to have finally arrived (although Sunday saw some rain).

Got the tender out and ran up the Beaulieu River for Breaky on the Saturday Morning, went in to Steffs Kitchen...very nice and civilised.

Anxious trip back as wasn't sure I had enough fuel in the outboard and forgot the oars..whoops!

The View from the boat at Sunset Yarmouth Harbour

This is a selection of our 9 day Summer Holiday with Honor, Jude & Little Zena on the IOW, we stayed in Yarmouth Harbour but as usual explored the whole Island. Honor learnt to row as did Jude and little Zena.

The weather was kind with only one day of rain, most days were hot and sunny which given this years weather was quite unexpected.
