S 3 and sunshine was just the right weather for the 35 mile crossing from Brittany to Jersey. After some minor adjustments the Aries self steering gear performed without a hitch and the 7 hour crossing was a relaxing experience. The spring tide had carried us well to the north west of the direct route, but as Renegade entered the Western Passage, the tide turned in our favour. With only a short wait for enough water over the St Helier Marina sill, we were alongside and ready for a run ashore.
Perfect timing; fresh croissants for breakfast in Paimpol and dinner in Jersey.
