FRANCE Day 2 Tuesday 5 th May Poole - Cherbourg to St Germaine sur Ay


 Leaving  Poole  this morning in brilliant sunshine 
Arriving Cherbourg 5 hours later in cool ,cloudy weather. Wind turbine machinery, (shades of John Wyndham ) 
Transportation ship 
Wind turbine blades  in Cherbourg harbour 

A very smooth crossing .  We sprang a leak in the washbasin waste water pipe , discovered late last night,  and  promptly fixed by a garage near Coutances , with the help of Google Translate  and some super glue, free of charge.👏🏼 On an Aire  10 mins walk from the beach tonight , 20 mins drive from the helpful garage . Again, well done Andy !


Photos of what we left behind ...
Andy on deck, looking more relaxed  after a massive amount of organisation to get away - well done ! 
 Brownsea island 
Flotilla of yachts setting out on the morning tide from Poole harbour 
Barfleur ferry , no frills , and no on deck seats (apart from where  the life jackets were stored )

Always happier when I know where the life boats are 🙂
