The Solent

For the first few days of this week we have been exploring the area around Hythe. Ann needed a shopping fix so she caught the local ferry to Southampton. This proved to be a pleasant trip up the river from the nearby pier. This was followed by a free bus ride into town. The weather has stayed fine so on Thursday we moved towards the western entrance to the Solent, past a number of sailing boats making very slow progress in the light winds. That night we moored in Lymington followed on Friday by a last shop in the UK in the lovely High Street of Lymington.
