This is happening again tomorrow. The annual #RoundTheIslandRace
This is an old shot from 2010 but rescued from the archives yesterday. This particular year we hired a small plane from the guy who took us up to photograph the Isle of Wight Festival.
This year I'll stay at the shop while Steve treks around various viewpoints with the camera and the drone. Next week I'll have to try and blag that I understand something about #sailing when people ask us if we have a particular shot! #TheNeedles
@sharongascoigne Can't remember if I mentioned that my uncle - who for many years lived on an abandoned boat in Eastney while restoring it in a very, very amateur manner - one year took his boat across to the island and disrupted the start of the race; they had to send a police boat out to tell him to get out of the way.
