We got up at 5 a.m. The anchor went up at 5:30 and we were underway. The forecast was for force 3 out of the west at first and then becoming very light. We wanted to catch the wind and the tide. We got both and it was great sailing in the rain and fog. On the way we were accompanied by three dolphins who put on a little bit of a show until they got bored with us and left.
We were able to sail all the way to the southwestern corner of Jersey when the wind died. But we now only had a few more miles to go.
We didn’t know how lucky we were to get to St. Helier so early. We got one of the very few spaces on a finger that were left and didn’t have to raft up.
After the immigration procedures the yellow flag came down and we took a walk into the city. Our berth seems to be very quiet and we will probably sleep like logs.
