Sorry to miss you in Guernsey. Have a lovely time! 

First time solo across the English Channel. Picked a perfect day for it but could have done with a little more wind for the second half of the passage as I had to gently motorsail to make reasonable time into Cherbourg.  Watched the Poole fireworks from my berth the night before, then tucked up for a prompt start the next morning.  Lovely views of Brownsea Castle and Old Harry rocks in the early light.  Shipping channels were not at all perturbing - the photos show my two closest points of approach to anything of note; AIS keeping me well informed from well over an hour away.  Berthed alongside Q dock (for visitors) with a multitude of nationalities coming and going over the next 5 days.
