We had hoped to make it down to Jersey in one go but the winds were right for Guernsey so we left early from Alderney via the Alderney Race where the tide can run at up to 7 knots. Tides are neaps at the moment though so the race was not too bad although it still kicked up some short sharp seas against the ever present strong wind from the south.
Guernsey did not impress. It seems to  have become rather run down since we were here last and we were not sad to leave after a single night.
