We had an exciting adventure on Saturday afternoon. After my last post, I finished work at 1pm then we went down to the QE2 Marina and launched the boat (Jeannie) on a Herm mission. We'd just got out of the marina when a think sea fog came down all around and we couldn't see either Guernsey or Herm. It was SO eerie, all we could hear was the occasional PAAARRRP of the fog horn. Using our chart plotter we managed to get over to Herm but we had to go mega mega slow and I was terrified of the Condor ferry hurtling into us. All was well though and we went ashore at Belvoir for a cup of tea and snacks before making our perilous way back. We saw a puffin bobbing along! It always amazes me how diddy they are.
In the evening we went for a bite at the Terrace with Chris, Sonia & Jamie, then we were joined by Penny, Matt & some of their friends as it was her birthday. It ended up being a really old skool night of going to places that we don't normally go to. Hence, we ended up in Pieces Bar which I am amazed is still going and hasn't changed a bit since I used to drink there under-age, and also the Golden Lion, where there were many slightly scary locals and lots of drunkeness.
On Sunday I did lots of sunbathing, went for a paddle at Port Soif and popped along to Saumarez Park to give Nick some moral support as he was compere-ing a fun picnic day for his work. It was all very jolly. And Rachel came around for pizza in the evening.
All in all, a rather lovely weekend.
