- The UK’s Jurassic Coast is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of amazing geological wonders. When you combine this with the famous sailing grounds and equally stunning scenery of Isle of Wight, this episode is one not to miss! Old Harry Rocks in Studland Bay are simply amazing. It was wonderful to have friends on board who could share in these geological wonders and beautiful countryside.
On the Isle of Wight, we anchor in Alum Bay and walk to over look The Needles - a line of haystack pinnacles that extend beyond the southwestern point of the island. Our next stop is quaint Yarmouth Harbor and our final stop is Cowes harbor and town.

I really love to follow your sailing adventures! Keep it on! 😍
That coast of England was stunning!! I watched some of your videos last night - you are doing great work too!
That's my part of the world but you're, well behind the calendar.
Somehow you managed to visit the needles on a calm day when rounding it and avoiding the shingles banks wasn't treacherous. On a spring ebb the narrow Hurst gap is only possible westward as the Solent empties through that funnel.
Yes, we had certainly learned of the challenges of navigating those areas you mention! We were certainly lucky to enjoy some wonderful weather to lay on anchor and we got in some good sailing too.
We'll call that poetic license.
That's not Cowes approach at 13:29, it's coming into Portsmouth where you'd have been being wary the submarine barrier between the line of forts protecting it.
Those 3 huge poles in the sea make it unmistakable. They are recent and to do with electronically guiding the two aircraft carriers home based at Pompey.
Now I've told you I'll have to shoot you both.
My crew calls them "the triples", we make for the triples when heading through the small boats gap in the barrier.
It was great seeing you both in my familiar places.
That singing?
It was nice but don't give up the day job.
I'm wondering if you went west from here next of if Lullworth here man's you were travelling East.
haha - ok, we will NOT take up singing for a profession. We were traveling east ... we came from the channel islands to Weymouth then to Lullworth (then back to Weymouth to pick up friends). After spending time around the Isle of Wight, we headed further east and eventually crossed over to Belguim. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in these tremendous sailing waters! (I'll look at my mistake at 13:29 ... thanks for bringing it to my attention)
ah ... yes, the shot sailing past the red bouy was entering Portsmouth but the stills of the town were of Cowes. I can see where that was confusing.
