The gang’s all here in zodiac life jackets before going ashore at St Peters Port at our unscheduled stop at Guernsey in the Channel islands. The easterly winds in the Scilly Isles off Devon made it unsafe for the zodiacs or for the local wooden boats to come take us ashore.
With ‘Secret Mission’ accomplished in St Peter’s Port, Guernsey, the A Team bounces through the choppy sea back to home base aboard Silver Cloud.
All are in need of a hot shower and change of clothes after the saltwater drenching, bouncing through the swell in the zodiac holding on to the ropes for grim death.
Crab claws, oysters, and prawns in the fresh air washed down with a chilled Rosé at a table out on the back deck make for the end of an uneventful trip ashore. Everything was closed for a Bank Holiday!
