We left Cherbourg 09:30hrs 05.03.10 not a cloud in the sky, the sun was hot. We raised the main and sailed sedately out of the harbour. Bob put the fishing rod out and our mouths were watering with the thought of fresh mackerel for lunch but alas it wasn't meant to be but he did catch a carrier bag.
With hardly any wind all day we arrived in Guernsey, back in the UK so soon, at 17;30 05.03.10.
On Saturday the wind picked up so we decided to stay put and explore some of Guernsey. Malcolm found a suitable pub to settle down for the evening and watch the football.
After ordering our first pint we turned round only to come face to face with the 'Sundowner 2' crew Dennis & Sandra who we last saw in Gozo, the rest of the evening gradually faded into an alcoholic haze but you can rest assured we all had a very pleasant time.
Sunday we took a bus trip around the island and saw Beaucette Marina which was a quarry and when they had finished with it they blew out the side to let the sea in. Well worth a look if you are ever this way.
well done Hilly. I am putting you in charge of the scissors in case you are on that boat for any great length of time.
