Rumours of a new ferry service

A new ferry service between Sandy Point (Sparkes Marina) on Hayling Island and East Head at West Wittering.

Due to start on 3rd April and will run on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Road access seems ok on the Hayling side, not sure about the Wittering side, possibly restricted by the owners of the massive money-printing car park.

Oh, so will I. 

May I post here, to the effect that I have probably only continued to quote such ongoing 'news' updates from the BBC, as they enable me to add yet more fresh images of ferries on this forum.
I love ferries. CfN.
