Wow, I like the ship you've hired!  Bit big to go to the Isle of Wight though isn't it, by maybe they could turn it sideways and you could walk on at Southampton, go the length of the ship and walk off onto the Isle of Wight! lol.

Thank you so much for the additions to the tour.  Are you off now to get pics of Milestones??
