Ferry 'cross the Sandbanks

While the ferry is on the Purbeck side a tug passes through the channel......
along with early season leisure craft headed for Brownsea Isalnd......

once the ferry hits the ramp on the Sandbanks side the chains take the strain and slow her down.....

before the cars are all off the ferry begins to load from the Sandbanks side......
minutes later the shortest ferry crossing in England hits the beach.
