The End of Last Year

Dear Reader,

As the new season approaches, I realise that this blog is historically incomplete. 

After last year's voyage to Scotland and Ireland and back, after a brief break we visited Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey, St Malo and back.

It was a great trip, made all the more memorable by our first visit to lovely St Malo.  This was our first visit to France since ghastly Brexit.  We had a wonderful time in St Malo and completely failed to register our entry or exit from France.  As the Marina Manager said of the new arrangements "C'est pas normal".

Our final trip of the year was all the way to Bow Creek (on the Dart) for a night at anchor and swims, then off to Teignmouth to see the family.

This year we will go eastwards along the English coast, then north hopefully to Inverness.
We hope to set sail again in May.
