•PARISH NOTES
All photos on this trip have come from IPhone camera as my big one is just to heavy
Days 44 / 45
May 21st / 22nd
Weather fabulous
•A note on insurance
The reason we could only have 45 days adventure is a clause in both our house and health insurance.. only 45 days BUT if ..as we have done in the past.. fly back for a couple of days we can have another 45 days .. We did this a couple of years back leaving Hetty in Gozo and flying home from Malta .. That was for the health insurance we didn’t know the building insurance had the same problem. Seemingly even if you have someone popping in every day it would be null and void ..Thank goodness the house didn’t burn down ..
THE PENULTIMATE POST
Over night in Cherbourg
GPS 49.643067. -1.617709
Packed aire 2 mins drive from the ferry.. Hetty grabbed the last place
Not a good nights sleep why we don’t know ..up at 4am for our 8-45 crossing
Day dawned calm with the sea like a mill pond .. The ferry was an extra one due to Brexit or non Brexit ..which ever…and it was empty .. more staff than passengers.. No queue for breakfast..
The sailing was on a flat sea arriving in Poole at 12-30 with the sun beating down .. Studland bSandbanks and the harbour looking the best I’ve ever seen em..
I’ve had a couple of nasty yachting incidents down there with too much wind and failed gear .. again 100% survival rate ..
A long drive home with a decision to call and see our chums in Hagley West Midlands arrangement made by phone only to be told as we arrived Toby had to go to hospital to be sorted out and wouldn’t be home .. Look in search4sites finding a Black Country pub in Claverley.. The Plough free parking whether you eat in the pub or not We did as it was their Fish n Chip night and highly recommended ..and amazing sky’s

My last post will be the cost and stats of this adventure ..Not the cheapest we’ve done (too much wineing and dineing ) but a good one !!
