July 30th Yarmouth day 2

 Some selected views from Yarmouth harbour beach out to the Solent

 We are very close to where the ferry is, yet we did not notice the loading and off loading.

 The harbour is heavily packed with boats and at one time we were rafted 5 across!

Can't get much closer than this!!

We stayed in Yarmouth a second day hoping to spend some time at the beach, yet when we woke up the day began grey and miserable. So as you do, we got up late and the captains played with the engines! Seasick Molly thought it was most interesting what the captains had uncovered and was most annoyed when she was shut away in the forward cabin! 1^st mate Hannah, 1^st mate Pamela and I decided to go for a sail in the dinghy with the electric motor and had an adventure scaring the local wildlife with how quiet we were.  Particularly a large Herring gull who had a large fish and had to try and run as it was too big to fly with!

After our trip exploring the River Yar we met with the Captains and set to Yarmouth for Lunch, which was good timing as the sun began to come out. So we hurriedly got back to the boats to change into swimsuits for our jaunt to the beach. After arriving at the small beach adjacent to the harbour we could watch all the boats and ferries in the Solent busily on their way, while Captain Stan took the time to have a snooze. Hannah went beach combing and Pamela went swimming. The views from the beach were amazing and in the distance you can see what seems to be 100’s of sailing masts in Portsmouth harbour, that look similar to a forest  of trees! There is rarely a dull moment in the Solent and it was very easy to lose track of time watching the world go by.
