A ferry has hit several yachts and run aground off the Isle of Wight.

The Red Falcon "came into contact" with a number of boats while trying to berth at Cowes Harbour, operator Red Funnel said.

None of the 40 passengers onboard were hurt, a spokesman said. The Coastguard confirmed nobody is missing or in the water.

Q.  What's brown and steaming out of cows?

A.  The Isle of Wight ferry.



Oh, how we miss those pier end comedians.  ::)
