We left Morlaix on the tide and headed down river for Chateau Torreau and the bay of Morlaix then headed NW for Treguier. We arrived in Treguier about half tide up so had a bit of fun getting on the pontoon and scratched Feels Good on the Stb side. We left Treguier at HW and headed down river again as the marina is 7 miles up at the top. Its a lovely trip in the morning with the sun shining and a fair wind for Guernsey. As we left the Heaux Lighthouse to Port and headed due East to round Barnoic East Cardinal mark to catch the northing tide for Guernsey. We usualy go West about the Roche Douvres which takes about 11 hrs but this time we had a fair wind and made Guernsey in 9 hrs. This was good as we had no auto pilot as we had sent ours to be repaired so this meant that we had to helm all the way. Sal is a very good sailor and is more than capable of taking Feels Good any where on her own so I had a chance for a sleep on the way. As you will see in the pics she stomped along at about 7 knots which under sail isnt to bad for a 50/50 and heavy. As we arrived in Guernsey we were met by the harbour staff with the usual smile and , (you know were to go Sally) and within a few minutes we were tied on the pontoon and the kettle was on for a cuppa. Since arriving we have had visitors every day which is nice so we can catch up on all the news. We went to dinner with Dave & Dawn good friends of ours last night and came home well fed after a lovely evening. They asked us to go to Dielette today for the weekend but we have three other dinners to go to so perhaps next time. I have now repaired the scratches on the hull so looking good again. I think we have just about replaced all the equipment on the boat since we bought her in 2005 so perhaps we can relax a bit now. Well thats it for Guernsey. Next stop Binic which we last visited about 3 years ago so keep looking and I will try to do justice to Binic. Be happy and have fun thats what life's about.
