Farewell to Guernsey

For us, it was time, To say goodbye to Guernsey. Since we wanted to run out on Wednesday against six clock direction Roscoff, to the 75 To create nautical miles in daylight, we wanted the SUMMER embarrassed today at noon flood before the port to the waiting web. Morning again was a load of laundry on the program, which could then be stored clean and dry before storing. In the afternoon I had a short trip for me to “Little Chapel” planned, I absolutely wanted to see. Enough time yes we had and the waiting bridge was indeed connected with the mainland.

Then, when two clock was enough water over the bar, to leave the port safely and without embarrassing snagging, we were on our way. Front of the harbor but we had to find, that all places on the pontoons, which were connected to the mainland, are now occupied. Nur am letzten Ponton waren noch Plätze frei 🙁 Hier gab es leider keine Festlandverbindung.

What should become of my trip? And the postcards I had not yet put into the letter box. Dietmar's good advice, I could swim, too, would be yes as far, not brought me further and. My plea, but inflate the dinghy again, was categorically rejected: Far too expensive!

After I had quarreled with ever deteriorating mood with my terrible fate for nearly two hours, took pity on my captain and makes the dinghy ready. A short time later I had another land under their feet and could go jet. But first we went to the city, to purchase a new pair of pants, I had unfortunately strayed a larger wave in the dinghy. Salt water does not dry easily and on a “Wolf” hatte ich auch keine große Lust 🙂 Vielleicht wäre schwimmen doch einfacher gewesen 🙂

The small chapel was really worth a visit. With wonderful mood I was unfortunately now in the pouring rain at the bus stop and waited for the bus, that would take me to the port to. Kindly, had a friendly motorist pity on me and took me to St. Peters Port mit. Am Steg also waiting my dinghy taxi to SUMMER. I was very happy and satisfied about the great end to our time on Guernsey.

And then again Football Time: Luxurious way we can namely also watch TV without shore power, since we have an inverter. The making of our 12 V board supply voltage needed the 220 V for the TV :-). We could not believe it almost, appeared as more and more goals for Germany on the display. For the Germans it was of course a great success and we look forward to the final on Sunday, but somehow did us the Brazilians but really sorry. So a defeat had they really do not deserve.
