Having said fond farewells to friends and family and having eaten the last of the freezer content we set off for Cherbourg at 0600 on Thursday the 6th April. Despite the early frosty start kind friends Ted and Iris, Ken and Jackie, John and Annie and Richard and Celia came to see us off.
Miggy had a great chat on Radio Solent on the Wednesday morning and Julian Clegg continued to mention us and our weblog throughout his show. Next broadcast from Miggy is at 0645 on 23rd May on BBC Radio Solent 96.1 FM.
We had a near perfect sail to Cherbourg with a Force 3/4 on the beambut have been stuck here for a while due to strong winds; This has given us time to wind down, remember some of our french, taste the bread and wine and buy a local SIM card. Our telephone/text No. is +33633701093.
Neal has learnt how to use the Navtex properly which is a blessing as we have not yet mastered the short wave radio
Looks good for St Peter Port tomorrow. We will post new stuff soon now that we have learnt to use Internet Cafes
