Last Wednesday evening we were slowly making our way eastward down the Solent towards Portsmouth (UK). The wind was fading away and we crossed through a small racing fleet. The first shot is looking southeast. The second shot, taken no more than 10 minutes later of another boat in the same race was looking west. The port hand buoy in the background of the second shot was being used as a race mark by the mixed handicap fleet.
The dramatic difference in colour has to be due to the Icelandic volcanic ash in the atmosphere?
