OK advance notice of an attempt to invade the neighbouring land of moules frites and two-hour lunches.
We hope to make a crossing from the Solent to St. Malo in millpond conditions and are aiming for the last week in July. Actual start date to be confirmed.
A stop-off in the Channel Islands will be incorporated.
And for the truly leisure minded we will proceed via river/canal to Rennes and further south. Several of you have done this many times and have recommended it as a good jaunt.
It's a major time commitment of around a week and may be tough going at times (not 5* comfort despite how we may love our RIBs lol
).
Would love for another boat or two to join us for part or all of the journey as we are inexperienced in those waters.
It's in the planning stages as there are many variables at this point but four or five experienced peeps have expressed an interest.
