A Rough ride back to Guernsey



 Its an early start with the intention of heading to Sark.
Rick and Tim head out to the boat.   The waves  are soon breaking over the wall behind them.
By the time we leave Alderney harbour the wind is already too strong and tossing waves over the break water.
We head home to Guernsey.
The harbour won't open until high tide so we have time to visit Fermain Beach.. scene of Rick's childhood.
Darcy sits hopefully at my feet ...I won't share my $12NZ sandwich!

Swimming at Fermain
Neither Trine nor the dog, Darcy, are keen to get back in the boat... especially when Tim suggests  just cruising around until high tide!  I was keen to walk some more of this coastline, and knowing I can bike from one end of the island  to the other in an hour and a half suggested we walk.  After much discussion we are allowed.
St Peter Port  flowers 

This floweris called lobster claw

The path back

There are still a few things on my to do list.. The Dehus dolman is ' just down the road' so Rick and I set off taking left turns and right turns down the rabbit warren of tiny streets, not lost, just not sure where exactly where it is either.



Miraculously we go almost directly there, and WOW! This is older than the pyramids!
