Newport Town, Isle of Wight

We finally got fed up sitting on the boat in Portsmouth. We were hoping to be on our way to France but it's been too miserable to think about a cross channel journey. Instead we took a trip across to Cowes and continued up the Medina river to Newtown. As you can see from the photos the tide goes out leaving us high and dry. One advantage of a catamaran is it can sit on the mud without falling over. This is our first attempt at drying out - a new experience. It does mean that we can't leave unti shortly before high tide which will be About lunchtime tomorrow.
