Sandbanks Chain Ferry
The Bournemouth- Swanage Chain Ferry went off for its biannual service today. It could be off for up to 4 or 5 weeks and of course this depends on the weather.

Is there no relief ferry.
I seem to remember in the past they used to keep a 'spare' for such occasions. I think it was a bit smaller though.
No, no relief.
I used to live in Cowes which has a similar chain ferry between East and West Cowes. On refits, they used to provide a small launch to get pedestrians across but cars still had to drive round.
There is no such facility between Sandbanks and Shell Bay.
