We had planned to leave St. Peter Port, Guernsey, for Paimpol in France, yesterday. We left the inside marina and moved to the outside area, the previous evening, to enable us to leave without waiting for high tide. However, once we got to sea and found that the high(ish) winds were causing us to be covered in spray from the choppy sea we decided that we would leave our departure until tomorrow. This was a wise choice and the following day was much better. Paimpol, like most harbours in the area, can only be entered at two hours either side of high tide. We would have arrived early so we headed for St. Quay-Portrieux instead. Unusually the journey was sunny and relaxed so you have actually got a photograph of me today.Saturday, 4 July 2009
