I'm glad you are enjoying the Hamble/Solent area - there is certainly plenty to do, anchorages to visit etc and you can go further afield - I can recommend unlimited ribs in Poole on a Tuesday. Lulworth Cove and the whole Jurassic Coast down to Weymouth is beautiful place to boat along. I am in the Pure Lattitude boat club, based at Port Hamble Marina, so get out in a variety of motorboats so maybe our paths will cross sometime.
Great to see you out on the water down here. I’ll wave if I get over to the Solent from Poole area 😅 and I see you. Great idea getting some local instruction
@DavesBoat I moved to Beaulieu initially then back to Christchurch, where I was for 30 years previously. However I have now downsized and trail my boat, so can launch anywhere. Yes it is a lovely area but the solent chop can be a pain
@@fat_tommo_goes_boating yeah people have warned me about the chop and luckily for the 2 weeks I was down there it was almost non-existent even with mad winds. however i think I was lucky, having said that having come from the Humber the chop doesn't really bother me its the rollers I don't like large and slow so the boat sits off angle for periods of time. Anyway back down in October so hopefully the weather will be kind again and I can get some hours running in again.
@DavesBoat The Solent chop is worse from Cowes to Hurst in my opinion, all wind over tide. If it's bad, wait 4 hours and it will be gone as a rough rule. I might be about in October aswell. I need a few more trips out before the winter.
the 4 hour thing is good to know, we did get out to the needles past hurst but tbh at 26 knots we were basically flying over the chop so didn't notice it so much 😂
I forgot just how much I enjoyed it and it was nice to actually get to use the big beast properly and get some hours actually using her not just floating around. The ability to come and go from my berth basically 24/7 without even considering tide is amazing its like so much freedom even just to pop out for an hour and back a couple of times a day. I know its like a 5 hour drive to get there but now I'm planning on going down for a week or 2 every couple of months and I'll actually get out on the boat.
@@DavesBoat that’s great! And plenty of opportunity to get out during the winter too, there are heaps of calm but cool days down there. Good move away from Grimsby, too restrictive with tides, and really nowhere to go other than Scarborough or Whitby. It’s getting towards summer where I am, which sounds great, but regular 40+ degree days are brutal!
Little jealous then I remember you now live in a country purely designed to murder humans. I'm hoping we get a break in the weather again towards end of October as I plan on going down for another week before the xmas shenanigans kick in.
It's nice down there , hope you get to use your boat more now . We moved ours by water from hartlepool to burton waters , we wanted to be on the sea but not much point if your not using it much . Even though we are basically on a canal we are getting to use the boat more , £16 to Moor in lincoln overnight and plenty of bars , there are also a couple of pubs on the canal where you can Moor up overnight 😀
Burton waters is just up the road from me and its where SJ was from. Its nice there. You can also go through to the trent and cromwell lock has a lovely brewery just walking distance away good food at weekends and great beer, or you can head up to newark or even into nottingham if you want its not fast due to the speed limits but like lincoln its a lovely day drive to spend a night on the town and drive back next day. My house is across the river trent just before Newark so I'll wave :)
@DavesBoat that's the plan for next year , they are replacing the flood gates at the marina so we can't get out for a month , but it will give me a chance to do more work on the boat 😆
For me as a motorboat its only 20 mins to Isle :) little bit slower for you sailing but fareham is only just up the road from Universal where I'm berthed too so if you see a big motorboat flying around give me a wave :)
Please show us were you moored & walk around IOW if possible nice relaxing video Dave 👍
great idea's will do them in October as I didn't get much footage last time too buy actually enjoying my holiday :)
Brilliant welcome back 🤗

Great idea's for places to go, why unlimited ribs only on a Tuesday though is there something that goes on?
@@DavesBoat No just one of the steak houses by the Town Quay Marina does an offer on Tuesdays and the ribs are to die for!
ahh that sounds great quick trip up to poole for an evening of ribs and beer :)
Love seeing people screw up as we all do it and makes it more watchable.
and i will probably screw up a fair amount :)
Looks like your enjoying the south coast. the hamble is beautiful.
So far loving it going down again at end of October see if i can get a week down before xmas as I'll get a little busy until the new year after that.
Great to see you out on the water down here. I’ll wave if I get over to the Solent from Poole area 😅 and I see you. Great idea getting some local instruction
I'm sure i'll make it round to Poole soon too. plan on visiting all the local area's etc.
Nice to see you in the area Dave.
I used to be moored almost opposite you on the other side of the river.
It's a lovely area isn't it. Where did you move to ?

For me as a motorboat its only 20 mins to Isle :) little bit slower for you sailing but fareham is only just up the road from Universal where I'm berthed too so if you see a big motorboat flying around give me a wave :)
