Hufflepuff - Hufflepuff ARC CI Rally: Day 6 - Dolphins Ahoy!



Cherbourg to Guernsey: we woke up in Cherbourg to the most glorious weather - having moored up just before 10pm BST after a long sail from Gosport, we slept very well. Time was short to prepare for our next leg though, so Cathy and Jas took on the task of locating the boulangerie and charcuterie for lunch supplies whilst the rest of us attended the skippers' briefing and readied the boat. We set off in light winds and prepared to motor much of the way. What we weren't prepared for was the fabulous sight of dolphins playing around the ARC boats. Absolutely wonderful! We negotiated the Alderney Race at slack tide with no problems and negotiated the Little Russel. Stunning scenery and very enjoyable by day - not sure I'd fact doing it at night! As promised by Roger, St Peter Port came up quite quickly and soon we were enjoying our post sail drinks in the cockpit.
Chris has some fab video of the dolphins playing at Hufflepuff's bow. Here's a photo of them with Sophisticated Lady.
