Fishing for donations and he certainly reeled it in. Great effort, Ross.

Impressive. That said we are planning a couple of days on the island soon and couldn't believe how much the car ferry is going to be. We may row instead as well.

If you actually stay a night on the island the owners of where you stay will often give the discount codes for the ferry. PM me if you need further details as we have close friends that own a very good B&B in Shanklin.
