Roger Well done and welcome home, quite an achievement. You will have memories and loads to write about. Hope to see you soon.

Amanda Gunn Know exactly where you were. We cycled across there last month when we were in Roscoff for the weekend. Lovely spot, which we have driven past so many times but never stopped!

Roger The latest on Nick Hayden is that he is still in intensive care and his prognosis remains unclear after his serious road accident. You two aren't half tear-arsing up that eastern coast!

Chris We've finally caught up with you! Today we've been girding our loins for a 2am start to Alderney tomorrow. But in between I've been narrating your last few days' worth of blog while the captain has sat back and relaxed a little, dreaming of 27 degreesC !! Winds in our favour and fairly light so wish us luck. What a wonderful time you're having, tho we don't envy you the difficult driving. Keep safe, our dear friends, we'll get together as soon as we are all back in Blighty. Big hugs and all our love xxxx C&M

Chris Ah, poor Snoops, he's been a good guy. Keep the bits, maybe your tame Mr Fixit can do something with him when you get home ?? Xxxx

Roger Just been looking at a recipe for Sicilian Cannolis *&%$*£$% !!! I'll bet you could hardly move after eating one of those.

Chris Hah ! Found the pics ! They are brilliant !! Xxxxx

Roger Sounds like you couldn't have picked a better location for a couple of days off.

Chris Bon voyage, mes braves ! ( I'm going to French class this morning ). Fair winds and calm seas for crossing the straits. ⛴

Chris How sensible you two are to have a lay-day ( as our Dutch friends say ). It came over in the narrative that you were feeling slightly frazzled and a little disappointed. No good pressing on and eating up the miles if it starts to become a route-March - it's a holiday !!! Enjoy, guys !!! We're with you. Easter weekend here has been dry warm and sunny. What's gone wrong ??? !!!! Xxxxxx

Roger Hope you had a happy birthday apart from the high speed blowout. I must have been in every bar in Port de Bouc when I was a young apprentice, is Fifi still there?
