Seen from Lymington and Keyhaven salt marshes during an early September day, hazy sunshine, light winds, does it get any better than this?
Dinghy racers gather just outside the Lymington river.
And further west, down off Hurst Castle the Keyhaven fleet also prepares for a start.
While others stay aboard in the harbour and catch up on a few jobs and maybe some maintenance in the nice weather while the wind is too light for sailing.
Fishing and crabbing off the old pier.
Taking the opportunity to row around safely in the flat calm.
Yachts lay quietly at their moorings as high water fills the channels among the marshes.
Children sailing and playing.
Horses enjoy a cooling walk along the shore.

Misty sultry days indeed. In the second to last photo there is a small reverse curve sheer sloop with a wooden mast and a small cabin stopping short of the mast, looks like a bit of a small classic - an early Laurent Giles ?
ReplyDeleteAlden hard to tell could be a Robert Tucker or George Hurley design, both did boats with reverse sheer. I took quite a few photo s that day will have a look to see if there's a clearer view.
