The start of our travels to France

 .

My dog , a crew member called Mark and I departed from Chichester UK on 16th June 22 ,having sold the house and intending to live aboard in sunnier climes.

First we headed towards Poole ,stayed for a night. left for Alderney the next day stayed for the night then moved to St Peter port Guernsey as a NE wind of gale strength was heading in. That was an interesting stay with a sill to the marina experiencing 4 plus meters of tidal range the pontoon ramps at low tide were angled at about 45 degrees! 

The next port of call was Roscoff. We needed to be there before a certain date to enable Ed's animal health certificate  to be valid .(arrive within 10 days of issue or go home ) why when its valid for 4 months and is more for re-entry to UK than anything?
