Giles and Paula's Great Retirement Adventure

[Giles]

Yeah, sorry. Will try to correct that soon.....

We were taken out to dinner in Barfleur bt our old Haslar Marina neighbour. I have (just) 6 Oysters, followed by Tuna...

Tomorrow, we sail around the Cherbourg Peninsular, and through The Alderney Race to Dielette. Some of the trickiest waters in Europe to navigate, it will be a day off Spring Tides, so the currents will be strong, but luckily there should be very little wind to make things even more complicated....

This is current map at about 90 mins into our passage. Red is strong, dark red/black, extremely strong....Going to burn some fuel...

Later in the day, and at last we will have current pushing us....

@Giles you get two free passes from me for that post! Old friends always is a plus in my book

And we are off.....

Gatteville lighthouse in Barfleur (tallest lighthouse in Europe), which is where we had dinner last night (the town, not the lighthouse)…
