One of the reasons that we headed to Jersey was to meet up with Jeff & Gerry, with their boat Virginia Lady, also from the Broom Owners Club. Once the water level had risen about 2m above the sill we were able to enter the harbour at St Peter Port and moor alongside Virginia lady, another Broom 38. We then discovered that it was Jeff’s birthday and headed into the town for a meal. Good company, good food and wine – what more could you want after a very tiring day navigating through fog.
