    Norway -- ICC Required?

    The system is a bit silly as the UK don't require us to hold a 'Boating Licenses' and an ICC issue in UK doesn't 'include coastal navigation'.

    St Peter Port Prices. The good & the bad.

    Not my idea of fun! I anchor in the bay, then move on - St Aubins, St Malo or across to Roscoff. Paying high fees is ok if you're mob handed and share costs but expensive if solo.
