August Bank Holiday in Haslar Marina

Dean & Readdyhoff asked if I would go in to Haslar for the Bank Holiday Weekend to update the images they had for the Marina, so I took the boat round on my own (scary) and met Zee from work. We spent a few days there enjoying the Sun.

Summer Holiday Week 2 - August 13th/18th

The weather broke when we returned on Friday the 8th August and we couldn't get back out on the Solent until the Wednesday 13th and even then we struggled through a F6 gusting F7 winds to return to the IOW, opting to moor up the Medina River at Newport hoping it wouldn't be so windy.

We had never been in to Newport before, so we thought we would see what it was like. Unfortunately the Shower block was like something out of the 50's (so after 2 days) we headed back down the river towards East Cowes for the remaining three days.

After weeks of glorious summer sun the weather had become like a usual British Summer ...unreliable.

Summer Holiday Week 1 - 4th/8th August

With the tremendous Summer weather still holding we headed out on the first week of our Holidays with the Gran children to Cowes week on the Isle of Wight. Jude has learnt to row the dinghy on his own, we met up with friends on Thursday 7th August at Osborne Bay where the kids had an amazing time, it searously doesn't get much better than this.
