Solent Crossing, March 2025

This was to be our first Isle of Wight (IOW) Solent crossing this year and the first time ever for four of our group. We all arrived in good time on Sunday morning and were able to get changed, unload the boats and kit ready for a safety briefing on the beach.

Getting ready to launch on the mainland

While getting changed a very relaxed fox observed our comings and goings. On previous trips we’d seen a fox walking along the beach, so maybe it was the same one. No cows on the beach though.
