We visited Bournemouth (Andrew and Maria’s hotel still wonderful – but the big deck chair has been replaced by the landing platform for a zip wire) at half term. I was not allowed to visit either Brownsea Island, or go on the chain ferry so great to hear and see your account. We did drive around Sanbanks and saw a lot of kite surfing in action.
We have enjoyed reading all 4 sailing blogs and seeing the photos again. At last a really clear photo of Tante Helena in Shotley Marina! So pleased that Geraldine could join you for the final mile.
