Great food onboard and on land!!! Nice facilities onboard to rustle up some lovely grub, that oven is a dream. It was such a pleasure to be part of the first big adventure after the re-launch. Especially after spending many long days and some uncomfortable hours under the deck of her!!!! JV didn't miss a beat and that is/was something to be proud of! Another note on the auto pilot was the ability to over ride it and turn the wheel to swerve around something in the water. The let go of the wheel and it tracks back on course! The radar plotter overlay was cool too!!!! I'll try the Kab seat another day when you aren't glued to it!!! Thanks for the company and the invite Ad & Ian!!

For those who haven't been before - the healthcare on the channel islands is not NHS - I have spent a tenner on insurance from https://www.insureandgo.com/

Min sea temp recommended for Turbos is 52/55F, currently 62 in western approaches and 59.9 off Alderney. We don't need to worry like the April trips!

Quarry Party you say - now you are talking! I was talking to a guy yesterday who was brought up on Alderney - his advice was that Alderney Week is crazy and there used to be some great live music etc too!

Enjoy!
