Cherbourg to Granville, via the Alderney Race!

Sailing with Adam on his Moody 31, Twilight, leaving Cherbourg at about 0630 to aim for the Alderney Race at slack water (which falls at approx DOVER HW -0.5h). Swift motor sail up the coast from Cherbourg, picking up the inshore eddy to carry us towards Cap De La Hague. Definitely a bit bumpy on the approach to Cap De La Hague, but managed to turn South dead on slack water
