We wound up in Falmouth for the winter, Mylor Yacht Harbour, then, in July this year, 2009, went to L'Aberwrac'h, North Brittany, then along the coast to St Malo, then up through the Channel Islands, then to Cherbourg, from there to Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight then day trips back to the east coast of england. We had fair winds all the way, didn't lose a single day to the weather. The photos are here. Scariest bit was not being able to see the transits when going eastbound through the channel south of the Isle de Bas, described by Tom Cunliffe as a rock strewn chamber of horrors. We had big spring tides in the Channel Islands, and found ourselves in uncharted overfalls en-route to Alderney, to the east of the Swinge. The next day the GPS had us going at between 11 and 13 knots on the way to Cherbourg.
