We rafted up in St Peter Port, it being invaded by a French flotilla. We didn't want to return to Guernsey since we'd been there twice already on this trip but it was necessary. The highlight was discovering an Indian restaurant in town, which Linda, Jon and I rated as perhaps the best curry we had ever had!]]> http://www.followtheboat.com/2004/07/18/curries-seaweed/feed/ 0 http://www.followtheboat.com/2004/07/13/how-fishy-is-fish/ http://www.followtheboat.com/2004/07/13/how-fishy-is-fish/#comments Tue, 13 Jul 2004 12:12:42 +0000 Jamie http://www.followtheboat.com/?p=516 We anchored up at Creux harbour and as the sun went down Tim and I nipped ashore for a quick exploration and then back again to spend an evening of getting drunk whilst at anchor. We explored intellectual topics - just how fishy is fish from the north sea - and looked at the stars. ]]> http://www.followtheboat.com/2004/07/13/how-fishy-is-fish/feed/ 0 http://www.followtheboat.com/2003/07/31/sark-the-toytown-channel-island/ http://www.followtheboat.com/2003/07/31/sark-the-toytown-channel-island/#comments Thu, 31 Jul 2003 13:19:54 +0000 Jamie http://www.followtheboat.com/?p=705 Remember that whilst we’d like to believe boating should be for everyone it’s still a rich-man’s sport, so when a bunch of reprobates turn up in a home-made cement boat and moor up next to some bling bling million dollar yacht we’re not exactly greeted with open arms. At first this bothered me. It bothered me that we didn’t look the part and it bothered me that we didn’t have leather hand-stitched upholstery and a fridge that prevents the smell of ripe Camembert to fill the entire boat as soon as one opens the fridge door.]]> http://www.followtheboat.com/2003/07/31/sark-the-toytown-channel-island/feed/ 0
