We have made it back home onboard T42. As usual we lost data connectivity whilst in the Channel Islands, so I’ll have to blog retrospectively. After leaving the Scilly’s we made a short journey across to the Channel Islands again, but this time Guernsey rather than Jersey. An early start saw us arrive on tender and depart immediately for the island of Sark. This tiny island, approx 4 X 2 miles has a population of 500, no motor cars or bitumen roads. Everything large is moved by tractors, people cycle and walk, whilst the tourists go by pony cart ! It has a wonderful yesteryear charm to it.
Robbie our horse did a wonderful job of slowing the pace down, a sort of canal boating on land. We then visited the magnificent La Seigneurie gardens. In full bloom they were a picture. After a quick whiz around Guernseys main town we were back aboard Voyager, ready for our final day at sea then Harwich. As usual we enjoyed every minute on Voyager, her crew and passengers are a friendly mob. We hope to have a visit whilst “upt north” with new friends John and Barbara, we certainly greatly enjoyed their company. The next couple of days will be spent preparing T42 for our trail to the Sea Otter Rally at Tamworth, and subsequent cruise. Cheers for now…..
