Azura

A sunny Tuesday welcomed the Azura to St Peter Port where she spent the whole day at anchor. Sark Shipping provided an extra tender in the shape of the Sark Venture to transport guests ashore as quickly as possible. The Azura left Southampton last night and will return next Sunday morning.

Guests who stayed on board had a good view of the islands including most of Herm's north coast at low tide. Sandy beaches, good places to eat, wonderful views; no wonder Herm is a favorite with many locals and visitors. Less crowded than the buses on route 91 and 92 that I saw this morning with standing room only.

The final tenders head into St Peter Port as the forecast bad weather starts to hit the island. When the Azura leaves she will head for La Rochelle where the guests who go ashore will not have to worry about the fuel shortages that are hitting France at the moment.
