On the High Seas

Once again, we were thrilled to welcome residents aboard the Dolphin III, operated by the Friends of Dolphin, who generously offer these amazing free boat trips and sailing opportunities.

With residents Megan, Pamela, and Liz on board, we set off on a two-hour cruise around the Poole islands of Brownsea, Long Island, and Arne — well known for their bird populations and the occasional seal sighting.

Liz was enchanted by all the wonderful birds and enjoyed waving at passing boaters. Her experience was made even more special with Companion Phil by her side, pointing out sights and sharing interesting details along the way.

Liz looked every bit at home on the seas, reminiscing about past sailing trips with her family.

The day naturally concluded with fish and chips at Poole Park, where we enjoyed watching the train and the swans on the lake — a perfect ending to a beautiful outing.
