A yacht on the Solent as seen from Steamship Shieldhall in 2022 for #MeerMittwoch this week. I've been on a yacht precisely once in my life and once was enough. Relaxing, it was not.

"In the River Hamble, a native oyster reef built in 2023 is now thriving, attracting spider crabs, fish and a host of other marine life. Seagrass has been successfully replanted in the river for the first time in more than a century. Saltmarsh restoration trials in Chichester Harbour are beginning to take hold, while new seabird nesting sites are supporting vulnerable coastal species."
Much to celebrate in art & song!

Final #MeerMittwoch of the year, and a local sight if you're sailing out of Southampton and between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight (in the background) is No Man's Land Fort, one of the Palmerston Solent Forts built in the 19th century to defend from a French invasion that never took place.
