Southampton in the U.K. enjoys reasonably mild winters and as winter gives way to spring, would not have expected the cold easterly wind and snow that it is currently experiencing.

Unfortunately, the conditions do not allow swapping of surf boards for snow boards, it is just pretty miserable, so to cheer up the WetAssers and to turn their thoughts to better days, here is a picture of the Boat Show marina.
The
2006 Southampton Boat Show will be held between 15-24 September 2006.
