Embarking on an Unforgettable Journey through the Solent: A Yorkshireman's Adventures at Buckler's Hard

Every seafarer has a tale to tell. For Ian Furby, a Yorkshireman who would launch his boat from Runswick Bay, his story leads us through a mystical journey navigating the waters of the Solent and anchoring at the marvelous Buckler’s Hard. Despite his experiences sailing the northern seas, the Solent provided a new voyage of discovery.

Being at the helm of a Nordkapp Enduro 605 wasn’t for the faint of heart, but Furby was eager, ready, and excited. The vast expanse of water, new adventures around every wave, sightings of minke whales, and glimpses of sun-dappled bottlenose dolphins solidified his fondness for marine life and deepened his passion for sailing.

Nestled in the Venetian Lagoon—a shallow saltwater expanse covering 550 square kilometres—the city is a marvel of human ingenuity, with no roads or cars, only a sprawling network of waterways that define its daily life and allure. The Grand Canal, Venice’s central waterway, stretches 3.8 kilometres in a serpentine path through the city’s core, lined with architectural gems like the Gothic Ca’ d’Oro, with its ornate tracery, and the Baroque Ca’ Rezzonico, home to an 18th-century museum.
