7 days in St Helier

Soon after Renegade's visit to The Minkies, the strong wind warning was hoisted over Fort Regent , where it has remained. The daily weather forecast from Jersey Met. Office has hardly changed for almost a week; NE5-6, occasionally 7, sea moderate to rough.
This enforced time in port has allowed the crew to explore Jersey and to attend the Jersey Air Show on Battle of Britain Day.
We have become experts at the excellent bus system, which we have used to take us to historic sites, prehistoric sites and stunning coastal scenery.
We have also learned that Jersey proclaimed Charles 2nd King on the execution of his father and 11 years before his coronation in England.
We are still waiting for better weather, so may have to report later on another week in Jersey.
