Change of Plan

Well the weather has had it's usual effect and caused us to change our plans.

Today we should have been on board a cross Channel ferry but having seen a forecast that included Force 10 (Storm force) winds likely in the English Channel and strong winds continuing for many days we decided to cancel our sailing trip along the Brittany coast with our friend on his boat and remain at home.

Currently we have rain at a 45degree angle and winds trying their best to blow down the ash tree in our garden.

Right decision!

We just have to hope the weather improves before we head off in 10 days to Belgium and Holland otherwise our plans may change again and we might have to head south for some sunshine.

Queens Jubilee Weekend

Having been home for a couple of weeks I took off cross Channel crewing for a friend on his 33ft yacht. We had a good crossing to St Peter Port in Guernsey and had a couple of days there before crossing to Brittany where we cruised along the coast for a while. I had to return home for various reasons for a few days before heading back cross Channel with Sue for a week on board before returning for a dentists appointment to repair a damaged filling. We are due back on 14th June.

Middle of the following week we are heading cross Channel again (via Dover) in the motorhome to spend some time exploring Belgium and Holland before coming home late July before everywhere gets too busy.

Updates will follow when possible.
