I was sailing on the Solent, off Portsmouth and Gosport last week, on board a 39ft yacht, with friends. As we made our way from Cowes on the Isle of Wight to Gosport, I couldn’t believe the amount of ship traffic – rush hour on a Sunday afternoon! Decommissioned warships, car ferries, racing yachts – you name it.
