Silhouette Yacht

Richard Veal

Silhouette Yacht

Taken from the landing stage at Sandbanks, Poole Harbour, this yacht was approaching the mouth of the harbour, ready to go out to sea.
I wonder where he was going?
Poole Harbour is one of the largest natural harbours in the world.

Thank you for looking.
Hope you like it.

    Shame we didnt know at the time, as we could have easily arranged something.
    Maybe next time we are up there.
    We stayed at Rockley Park 18 months ago, and the caravan we had was right on the waters edge. Beautiful.
