Soon to be my home for 5 weeks... Just need to get stickers on there http://t.co/lJO2741p

@LisaTandem best to get me on @TintyMcginty now - @WaterReporter1 is soon to be defunct... I'm still reporting though so DM away

[Tim Robinson @WaterReporter1]

And the radio station now has it's own account - @bbcradiosolent

[Tim Robinson @WaterReporter1]

Hello Tweeple - my voyage as reporter on the water has come to an end. You can still follow me reporting on dry land @TintyMcginty

[Tim Robinson @WaterReporter1]

Weather in gosport is quite horrible. But lots of mad people still strapping on salopettes and heading for the Solent. Braver than me!

[Tim Robinson @WaterReporter1]

I've been stuck in Bembridge for 3 hours now waiting for ONE interview. I'm getting very close to giving up...

[Tim Robinson @WaterReporter1]

Beautiful Bembridge beach - a potential site for a marine conservation zone - but could it stop beach defence work? http://t.co/7aOjFCr

Patrick Marsh from www.vortexkitewakenski.com had to be radio engineer, and skipper, and navigator, and interviewee http://t.co/4Z5JwnU

[Tim Robinson @WaterReporter1]

@RebeccaNOLAUK hell yes! I'm in Gosport from Monday - let's compare diaries tomorrow!

[Tim Robinson @WaterReporter1]

Had a tour of Ryde tonight with @ALEXDYKE1 - and made a cameo appearance on At Home with the Dyke's. Listen to the Big Mid Morning Show @ 10

[Tim Robinson @WaterReporter1]

Lovely day for a dip - if only I had time to enjoy gorgeous Ryde beach... http://t.co/sCEeQQC

@pedalnpaddle @watersedgeiow I've fallen in love with Gurnard, and with SUP. Gonna save up for one of these... http://t.co/QFocH7E

[Tim Robinson @WaterReporter1]

@ALEXDYKE1 and I think we've finally found a time when we both aren't working - so tomorrow you can hear his visit to my boat at 10:15am

[Tim Robinson @WaterReporter1]

@Highaltitude28 They just wait for the nicest day of the year, ruin it for everyone, and die in your chips.

[Tim Robinson @WaterReporter1]

Ryde's been invaded by a plague of flying ants, and they've all chosen to die on the back of my boat. 32 corpses. Why do the swines exist?

[Tim Robinson @WaterReporter1]

Right then lovely twerple - I'm in Ryde all this week. On the lookout for fun interviewees for 10:15am... Any suggestions?

[Tim Robinson @WaterReporter1]

@zsk I'm at Town Quay Southampton - are you in this neck of the woods?

[Tim Robinson @WaterReporter1]

So I'm now officially a "competent" powerboater by European standards... Yet I wouldn't trust myself alone in a puddle - let alone the sea!

[Tim Robinson @WaterReporter1]

Ready for level 2 - going to be WET out there today... http://t.co/nhzxcCc

I've been hacked people. Apologies for spam - not from me. Thanks to @CarolineCooke @northernbirdy & @rebeccaNOLAUK for the heads up...
