We now in St Helier and have broadband for the night so a good time to upload some pictures. We off tomorrow to anchor again, then on Thursday we going up to Herm which is just off Guersey. The beaches there are supposed to be great and the weather looks like it will be good.
At the moment looking at the winds we will probably leave for either Plymouth or Falmouth on Monday
Our friends took this picture as we were coming into Gorey. Vicki on the fore deck looking for any reefs that may be lurking.
We had just had a great 6 hour sail, lots of wind and probably over powered at times!
The weather was not great this afternoon, so we took the kids to a delightful indoor play area...we read the papers and they are exhausted...result!
Beached in Gorey on Jersey, we anchored here for 2 days the first was good the 2nd night the wind came from the other (non protected direction) so we left for St Helier
Our new cruising friends on Indiana beached with us, they took the above photo of us.

Overlooking Herm from Guernsey castle.
Overlooking Sark
At the castle they did a naration of a historic event that happened in Guenrsey, variuos members from the crowd took part, Callum Jess and Vicki were ships enacting the way the Guenrsey/British sailed to defeat the French (i await my oscar) and tim read a page of lines of one of the crew that helped defeat the French.
Callum in full gear, convinced that he would be able to snorkel, this was as far as he got...the sea was rather chilly.
The tide going out, a very odd experience, we got land sick from the lack of motion.
what a garden.
not snorkelling, then into the hammock, put up at the bow of the boat.
This is the smallest chapel ever, made entirley from bits of china, shells and rocks, amazing
Well...just singing.
