We enjoyed our overnight stay here in Salcombe, the village is set in a hillside and is absolutely stunning. We went ashore via water taxi at £2 per head one way and they collect you direct from your boat. We had lovely grilled fish in Captain Morgan’s for our dinner and a few beers in some of the many pubs, having a laugh watching 2 seagulls having a tug of war battle over food, on a roof! - and then headed back to Ginger Grouse for a relatively early night as we had a long trip ahead of us next morning to Guernsey.
We set off at 11.30am, heading SE to St Peter Port, Guernsey, in fabulous sunshine with not a cloud in the sky. The wind was Force 1 from N/NE, so absolutely perfect yet again for the journey.
We passed a few huge container ships across the channel, and Jim saw a couple of dolphins on our port bow, but apart from that, there was no sight of land or anything else until we reached Guernsey.
We arrived at St Peter Port at 3.30pm, again travelling at a comfortable 20 knots throughout the trip except for the approaches, with most of the helming being done from the fly bridge and our tans getting topped up! The Harbour Control boat met us at the entrance, only accessible +/- 2 hours high water, and showed us where to berth. 4 nights for the price of 3, a bargain at £18 per night including electricity and free wi-fi.
Guernsey is 49’27’.31N 002’32’.04W.
We will be here until next Thursday, when we will head for Carteret in France, our first French Port of Call.
