On this day 2016. On the ferry from Southampton to Hythe.

Highlight of trips to Southampton, which we usually do in February. And it usually rains.

In 2014 we had arrived back at our winter mooring the rather grandly named Pont Royal a collection of about 10 houses. Bruno who runs the B and B and looks after the port was playing with his little boat and the weather looks very nice.

 

cant upload photos they keep coming out upside down, tried altering the photos but they still come out upside down. Any ideas this has never happened before.

The Boathouse Hotel we stay at when down that way is a five minute walk from the pier. Ideal for the boat show. Breakfast overlooking the marina and then a ferry ride to Southampton which drops you off almost at the entrance to the show.

On this day in 2012

T&M A plaque of the breach and later £2.1m repairs (NorthwichGuardian). C&RT had taken over the canals three months before. Nobody was injured. VinceMoran, acting Chief Executive said (in the context of compensation for landowners) that a few very-valuable sheep had got their feet wet.

In 2015 we were staying near Lake Winnipesaukee in Hew Hampshire. It’s a large lake of 69 sq miles. There was a vintage rally going on but we were a bit late and some had gone but these old Chris craft were still there. The trip boat Mount Washington does two trips a day round the lake. It was originally a steamer but the US Navy took the engine in 1940.

This day in 2010 and 2013. The first, 2010, photo shows a temple alongside the Han Gou Canal, which is on the left. This section of canal was originally built in 486BC The second photo is from 2013, and shows the boats and floating stage used for the open air performance of the Yangzhou State Opera - lots of loud noise, fireworks and laser lights were part of the performance.
