the ferry

This ferry boat plies across the narrow channel of water from the end of the spit at Hengistbury Head to Mudeford.

I don't like small boats but I went on it - once. The currents are quite strong!
look like fun, as you can see from my shots we were on a ferry this weekend

I like boats so would probably find this fun. Good composition.

Beautiful shot - looks like fun unless you're prone to seasickness!

This makes for a beautiful photo! We, too, have the need of a ferry here across a fast flowing river. Most amazing are the photos from days-long-gone-by when "the ferry" was no more than a very small boat...(think canoe) with a few people and, n the case of the photo I saw, a horse standing in the middle of them all! (I'd take a pass on traveling that one!)

Josephine looks like a party ship.....she looks beautifully maintained . I am a bit like you Hazel, not happy on the water! I don't mind proper ferry rides such as Stenna Line & as long as it's short distance as in Ireland.

My basline is that it's a ship big enough to take the car on!

Hats and scarves needed!

Very nice capture. The boat that I went out on the plegic birding trip was a whole lot smaller then that. Of course I caught some Dramamine before I left.

As long as it is floating I go with it. I only don`t like to get wet feet. Great shot of the boat and the nice river

Is this a chain ferry like down in Poole, England?

It's a boat, rather than a chain ferry. It's not so far from Poole! Nearest seaside is Southbourne or Mudeford.
