@PaulaAubrey2 There is still a regular service from Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight by hovercraft. They can go pretty well anywhere where the terrain is reasonably flat - seashore, marshland, estuaries, wide rivers etc.
This is the time of the year when I update the family website with news and photos of the year's happenings, just when everyone is too busy to read it. Anyway, here it is, including a famous tower, 2 elections, music, art, hovercraft and spaaaaaaace! https://t.co/TFKC3TzYH2
