Enjoying life
15 July 2009 | St Peter Port - Guernsey
Nothiing much to tell ya.
Mostly sunny weather, and we'e basically just enjoying like people on vacation. Walking in the town, buying crab or fresh fish at the Mongers, socailising a bit with other sailors in the marina.
Admittingly we really like this place, that we almost 'by mistake' ended up in. That's the beauty of cruising without an agenda.
Also, sicne the Island is free from VAT, the local Chandler has had a couple of visits from us.
Off course the proverbial 'Cruising is doing boat maintenance in exotic places' to some extent has to affect even us ;-)
I have change two burners on the 'state of the art' Taylor kerosene/paraffin stove onboard, and we'll have to climb the masthead to reinstall one out of two jib halyards that in some mysterious way was lying on the deck one morning in the North Sea.
No big deal.
we DO keep a thorough look at the Met forecast twice a day. As soon as we get favourble and light wind we will go on. Next 'target' is l'Aber Wrach in Northern Brittany, a supposedly lovely and sheltered spot in a river mouth and an excellent palce for the next leap to the Chenal du four between the mainland and Ile d'Oessant
stay tuned!
