Captain's Log .. star date 18.06.2012
Now marooned in French Sector.
Professor Edwards seems able to communicate with the local civilians.
Captain's wife as lovely as ever.
Windy.
Left Itchenor on Monday. Nasty bumpy crossing to Cherbourg.
Sainsbury's pork pies proved to be the ideal anti-emetic (fear of tasting them again the way up seems to suppress gag reflex) .. or so the Prof believes. Anyway, we all survived.
Anchored outside Cherbourg on Monday night. Slept well.
Tuesday, pleasantly motored to St Peter Port.
2 nights in St Peter Port.
Nice walk along the cliffs.
Thursday close reach then beat towards Treguier.
Big waves F5 and strong current. Ended up in Lesardrieux. I always like it here.
Friday .. nice walk .. Jardin Botanic ... heavy rain at times ... F7-8 at sea .. nice in the marina .. huge tides.
Today .. Saturday ... Jean went out for run (I didnt). Shopping trip and much passage planning for tomorrow. The weather looks better for tomorrow so we aim to anchor off Primel then aim at L'Aberwrach on Monday.
Al is cooking Thai Red Curried Turkey with local cider as hors d'oeuvre.
