Its been a while since we've had wifi so there's a good bit to report. On our last day in Brighton as Finn was being dragged away from his rod for bed, he had just another 5 mins of fishing and landed his first catch ! Not to take anything away from Fisherman Dann but I don't think we'll be able to rely on him to provide us with dinner on a regular basis ! It was a 3" shad .....

After leaving Brighton - we did an overnighter to Cherbourg where we met up with an old friend, Bill the skipper of the 'Queen Galadriel' a big old wooden baltic trader. After a night in Cherbourg and a few hours ashore to stock up on chocolate and birthday cake for Aid we went in company with Bill and his crew to Braye in Alderney. We've now spent a couple of very uncomfortable nights at anchor rolling in the swell but the island is very pretty and welcoming. Off to explore now then tomorrow we're off to Jersey.......
Love to you all XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
