Portsmouth to Isle of Wight

This was a beautiful day for our tour of Portsmouth Harbour.



Our tour boat.


Views from the boat.


There were a lot of warships in the harbour.  Many were de-commissioned.

















Lynn on the tour boat.







Spinnaker tower from the tour boat.








Figurehead  on the wharf.


Spinnaker tower.




Look close. ((Click on it to enlarge.) There is a climber rappelling  down the tower.  I was told it is very pricey to do--you couldn't pay ME enough to do it--even though I have rappelled.









Fortifications built during WWII.





Our bed and breakfast in Bembridge.  Xoron Floatel--a WWII Motor Gun Boat--like the US PT boats.
