My title refers to the coordinates of our location. Sitting below in the saloon looking out; these numbers appear on the inside of the harbour wall in Jersey. We arrived Tuesday afternoon after a day sail from Guernsey and were greeted by a dolphin pod at the north west corner as we rounded Jersey. We were thrilled with their appearance and even managed to get them on video.
In the foreground of the above picture you can see the "waiting area" for boats that want to enter the marina. When the water is high enough boats pass through the opening and look for the visitor docking which in this marina is at the very end.
Today we took a trip into town. Many stores, a real shoppers paradise; all in a car-free, pedestrian only zone. After strolling through an indoor market filled with fresh fruits stalls and we had lunch at one of the quaint outdoor cafes and headed back to our home with heavy bags filled with wine and used books. We arrived back just to make ourselves comfortable and watch the air show
According to all the weather info we have, tomorrow will be a good time to head south west along the French coast and then across the Bay of Biscay. It will be a three day trip. We know this won't be easy, but the further into September we go, the weather window becomes smaller for crossing the Bay of Biscay.
