Sail from Sark

If you read my last blog, we were in Sark, in the Channel Islands, moored for he night.
We sailed the next morning at 6 o'clock, compass set on Alderney, what a rough ride weather was bad and we were knocked about a bit.

Anyway the Sat Nav. got us to Alderney and the weather calmed down a bit. of course being in a Cat (Catamaran) the sails were reefed, on arriving at Alderney, after looking at the charts e decided to dry out ( putting the Cat on the beach at high tide and sitting on the sand at the low tide) making a more comfortable night. The charts showed a sandy shore. WE headed towards our comfortable mooring when the harbour masters vessel intercepted us and directed us to a buoy to more for the night, ok you don't argue with the harbour master so we went to the buoy and parked and paid the ten pounds mooring fee.

Next morning we looked at where we where going to moor and saw jagged rocks, the chart was out of date.

going ashore at Alderney was an experience, you could see the French coast quite clearly.

But the one thing that sticks in my mind is all the people in the island looked the same. Dunno if this was because it was a small isolated island and everyone was related, maybe, you know what I mean.

WE did the tour of the German gun emplacements and had a good time in the local pub.
The next day we set sail for France, but that's another story.
