Clearly a voyage well prepared for and accomplished. Well done! But towing your dinghy? and with the outboard still on it?? That could have caused you unimaginable grief even in moderately unpleasant conditions!
Thank you so much it comments like yours that help me want to keep on making my videos, wish you all the best with your channel and hope you keep finding mine interesting too. Many thanks Craig ⛵️🙏😀
For Route planning around the Channel I have A pilot book of British isles and France combined, used in in conjunction with passage and pilot Charts. For further afield Jimmy Cornells books on world cruising, and route planning are good. :)
You were keen not to enter Braye after dark but ended up doing so, in fact it’s not too difficult is it ? The lighthouse makes a big difference on a dark night.
Hi Mark, yes your right I was not keen on entering Braye in the dark, and it was a very dark night, the light house was very helpful. Fortunately I had spent some time in Alderney before do I had a fair idea what I was getting myself into, I think I'll probably leave a bit earlier next time. :)
If your sonar is on it might disturb the dolphins ? Lovely boat !
Nice, local knowledge of tides and currents is most welcome 👍

Love your content. These types of videos have inspired me to make videos about my experience being a boater in Brooklyn NY on my channel. Cheers!

Nice boat/video! Thanks for sharing the adventure.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice and calm reporting! I did enjoy it!
Nice job, enjoyed the video very much. Looking forward to the next.
Thanks will be released on 18th of January :)
Just found your channel. Cracking boat. Alan Pape never designed a bad boat.
Thanks for watching!
Nice one Craig! I loved sailing round to the Channel Islands. Lots of current fun. Hope we can sail together soon!
Yes Defiantly, Im so miffed, I didn't get a chance to sail with you in Greece last year. must catch up soon!
Would like to know if the staysail would have increased your speed? Nice voyage. Thanks for the lift! SkipRay.
Yes a clean bottom really helps.😁
So smooth🤣
Nice videos inspiring me to get my westerly discuss finished this year 👍👍
Thanks hope you get it finished 🙂
A clean bottom helps in most situations, at least that's what I find.
Agreed ! Mine never stays clean that long :(
I look forward to the next parts. What books should I consider buying to help rout planning?

Stay on the boat but don’t fall in the harbour after visiting the Divers.
Did you get a free hotel room, phone and a GP visit?...
