It was time to begin the voyage South and get to commit to going round the bend, well Ushant would do for now. So we slipped lines after filling up with fuel at Boatworks in st Peter Port the last place to get duty free diesel at a fab 57 litres for 34 quid! we had to wait for clearance over the sill for the Victoria Marina so departed at 11:40
By 14:45 le Roche Douvres was in sight, the wind of course was on the nose backing from WSW to SSE the boat speed under engine was now reading 9k and it was time to recognise that it had recalibrated itself or rather it had developed a grandiose exaggeration. So I reset the log to track SOG which grout it down to a more manageable 7k. We enjoyed a fine lunch courtesy of M&s of breadcrumbed and battered sea food (hurray for 3 for £10)
At about 16:30 we were well past Roches Douvres with about 14nm to run to the mouth of the Trieux where we arrived at 18:35 announced by a huge wind veer as a warm front came through the temperature rose. By 20:00 we were all neatly tied up in Treguier wi the log stating 28792 a trip log of 75 miles including the extra logged miles.
