Watching Ferries from the Pub

I’m certainly a sucker for a ferry photo as a search on this blog will confirm. I also like a pub by the sea, so Nancy and I had lunch at the Still and West on Spice Island in Portsmouth. This pub is right next the the entrance to Portsmouth’s harbour and also alongside the Wightlink ferry terminal. The service is frequent during the summer so, sitting there and eating lunch means you will get a decent number of ferries coming and going. Since you are sitting just above the water level, they look quite imposing as they come by. Also, they swing into the terminal in quick order and then disappear around the corner. It’s really quite fun to watch. Nancy normally tolerates my jumping up for photos of various things but I think even she thinks that the ferries are quite enjoyable to watch from here.
