we'll be coming in from Jersey, so looks as though will have to get a Q flag.

We were told in Alderney last year that the Q flag was no longer needed, never seen one in the CI, or am I not looking?

To judge by the boats in there, one of which was named "Conspicuous Consumption" if I remember correctly, their owners are not the sort of people one would expect to see waiting at bus stops amongst the Twister-owning riff-raff.
I too wondered how some of the larger vessels ever got in there, and how they will ever get out. It certainly is a weird place. I swear there was a man on the largest boats wearing an eye patch and nursing a white cat.

It's worth phoning them in case they have a French rally coming in. There'll be so many boats that nobody can get out of the marina until they've gone. (Bit like Bembridge in the old days only more so). No need to worry, just make sure that they will leave before you want to.
Secondly the 2 (or maybe even 3) finger pontoons in the NW corner of the marina are shallower than they should be and I doubt if they've dredged them at all. I went aground when the tide went out (cill or no cill) and as I'd been assured it was deep enough I wasn't best pleased to be over at an appalling angle at 3 in the morning! Still, no damage and found somewhere better next day.

I spent a lot of my youth a stones throw from Beaucette....I remember it when it was still a quarry before the Army boys came along and blew out the rock to open up an enterance channel. The lanes around here are the real Guernsey and not the flesh pots of SPP. The entrance is now well marked, a nightmare back in the early 70's avoiding the very jaggy bits off shore. Check your tide tables as the entrance sill dries but there are now holding moorings outside...........A lovely peacefull spot to just laze and wander the lovely lanes.

I am in the Med and if there is one place I miss taking the boat to it is SPP.
