We have been thinking about a Cherbourg trip for a little while now and as we were "on holiday" and the winds were right we made a snap decision to go. I asked Greg if he would like to come, on monday he said ok. Then I told him we were leaving 4:30 the next day, he wasn't so pleased about that!
Apart from going all the way in thick fog it was a reasonably uneventful journey, we didn't see any other boats but the radar was on all the way though.
Grabbed some wine inthe supermarket then dinner in "The Regency restuarant" in the evening. Early to bed as another early start in the morning.
Nice sail back with the odd period of motorsail to keep the average speed up to 6.5 knots. Again we had the target of getting Lou back for dialysis. Came past peveril bouy doing 10.5 knots whoohoo!
Spent the next week recovering from the 10 days of sailing.
