Guernsey
49' 27,41'N
21' 31,20'W
From Dartmouth it is a 70-mile passage to St Peters Port in Guernsey, which is the second largest of the Channel Islands. This crossing makes for some good navigation and pilotage excercises, and would also class for Yacthmaster qualifying passage. Also it is a good opportunity to stock up on wine/spirits and cigarettes as the tax regime is somewhat cheaper than the U.K. |
