My friend Lisa texted me to see if I wanted to pop down and take a photo or two of the event she was taking part in: Santa SUP. SUP Bristol organise stand-up paddleboarding on the floating harbour, and their annual Santas-on-paddlboards event is quite the sight.
On the way there, I grabbed a historical photo I'd been wanting to recreate for a while of the shiny and new Cumberland Basin flyovers back in 1965, because I reckoned I could fit finding the same viewpoint into my outbound journey. Also, after having only used it on a wander for the very first time yesterday, I managed two crossings in the cross-harbour ferry today to get to the best locations for snapping the paddleboarders...
So, then, this wander is mostly a bunch of photos of paddleboarding Santas. Tis the season... Enjoy!
A mighty blast of a horn drew our attention to the fact that the superyacht Miss Conduct was just making her way into the harbour.
This used to be a luxury dining yacht in New York, the Abigail K, Abigail Kirsch apparently being a famous New York catering company.
Here's a snap of her in Sharpness, looking rather the worse for wear. I understand the helicopter is for decoration and has no engine. Certainly the G-MISSC registration is a bit of a giveaway; UK registered aircraft typically (always?) only have four letters after the G.
