Weather in gosport is quite horrible. But lots of mad people still strapping on salopettes and heading for the Solent. Braver than me!

I've been stuck in Bembridge for 3 hours now waiting for ONE interview. I'm getting very close to giving up...

Beautiful Bembridge beach - a potential site for a marine conservation zone - but could it stop beach defence work? yfrog.com/kg55rfnj

@Highaltitude28 They just wait for the nicest day of the year, ruin it for everyone, and die in your chips.

Ryde's been invaded by a plague of flying ants, and they've all chosen to die on the back of my boat. 32 corpses. Why do the swines exist?

Right then lovely twerple - I'm in Ryde all this week. On the lookout for fun interviewees for 10:15am... Any suggestions?
So I'm now officially a "competent" powerboater by European standards... Yet I wouldn't trust myself alone in a puddle - let alone the sea!
Ready for level 2 - going to be WET out there today... yfrog.com/kfszsnqj
I've been hacked people. Apologies for spam - not from me. Thanks to @CarolineCooke @northernbirdy & @rebeccaNOLAUK for the heads up...
Here's a better mullet and a better photo. Whopper this one. yfrog.com/kkky0dkj
