Saturday starts with a stop in Ipswich for a hair cut, and to get fitted for a wedding suit (being best-man for mate Andrew, pictured in the beer garden of the Grinning Rat)

Nosher arrives in Lymington to get a ferry ticket, but ends up having to wait a few hours first. Cue a wander down to Lymington waterfront.

Nosher actually lived in Lymo for a few months...

...this is looking down the hill towards the quay.

With a few hours to kill, there is time to pop around to Hamish's to catch the end of a barbeque. Hamish and Jignesh hang out in the conservatory

Hamesprog 1, Bruce, jumps around

On the ferry out to the Island, looking back up the river towards Lymington

The Royal Lymingotn Yacht Club, from which Nosher sailed a few times as a teenager

More sunset river scenes

In Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. The place is heaving

Ray and Sean drink beer

Some of the crew of Ray's boat, "Confusion"

Later on, getting the water-taxi from Yarmouth to the bed for the night, the yacht "Drifter", moored out near East Cowes

On the boat, Sean makes use of the nearest bog

More beer. It was a warm, clear night, and Perseid pre-cursor meteors were in the sky. A top night for sleeping on a boat.

Nosher hangs out

7am the following morning

Milling around the harbour

Sean sits in the cockpit of "Drifter"

Nosher cleans his teeth

Back on the water-taxi heading back to Cowes

Breakfast in the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club. Ray and Jim read the papers
