Azores

Another "British Isles Discovery" cruise today with the Azores visiting for a full day's stay having arrived from St Mary's in the Isles of Scilly. Tonight she will be on her way back to Bristol, having left on the 8th May going north to the Outer Hebrides and Orkneys. Yesterday the anchor that she "left here" on her last visit was retrieved by a tug and will be shipped to Bristol.

Friday afternoon in Guernsey and, with the start of summer, the exodus from the marinas as work ends is a regular routine for a lot of Guernsey boat owners. Herm is a popular destination for a weekend stay, along with Sark and ports on the nearby French coast.

Tomorrow morning just after the sun has risen the fleet of yachts in St Peter Port will start their race back to Perros-Guirec and Morlaix as part of the Tresco Trophy. The location of the marina gives easy access to the restaurants in town. Fish & Chips is always popular with the French at the nearby chip shops in Fountain St.
