Round the island - Spinnakers and Chairs

Round the island - Spinnakers and Chairs, originally uploaded by Rusty Marvin (getting busy again).

LR-7867 - The boats are quite away off shore in Sandown bay, running a diagonal between Ventnor to the east of Bembridge ledge. A bit of juxtapositioning with the deck chairs and spinnakers might work for a shot. Stopped and had breakfast so there's quite a few candid's to come later.

LR-7780 - Second shot from Brook, I liked the people but also liked the composition here. Short drive along the coast to Brook bay we'll be moving onto Ventnor after a drive along the MIlitary Road, past Blackgang, St Catherine's, Niton.

Round the Island - Warming up

LR-7773 - Short drive along the coast to Brook bay and found this pair on the beach warming, I did sort of suggest that the sun was running along that row of yachts at one point in the conversation. Will admit the blood drained appearance of both parties gave a little clue to how cold they were!

LR-7730 - Bit of ARt for Friday morning, taken on Afton down (location of the 60's/70's original Isle of Wight festivals), nice bit of wild garlic and some blue as it has been thundering and raining since 5 am this morning :( Strange how the forecasters said it was to be the hottest day this year!

LR-7687 - Moving on from Fort Albert to the south side of the island into Freshwater Bay, taken during the J P Morgan round the Island race, originally I thought the crew were just coming backing from patrol, but they had been called out to assist someone.
