a little taste of Guernsey

the marina at low tide
Up hill
Fort Cornet
St Peter from the anchorage

It was not our primary choice to stop at Guernsey, and surely not to stay at the marina. But Eole decided for us again. A train of low pressure front and a specially vicious one which lingers north of us bring some contrary winds. The anchorage was untenable and we decided to move to the marina. Every 6 hours, the tides allow the entrance through a sill. It is full season, a lot of boats come in and out. Although despite the crampy feeling everything goes smooth, quietly and evenings and nights are quiet.
