So i'm single handing the P57 from Jersey to Poole via Cherbourg on Monday/Tuesday. I've done a few channel crossings, and a few single handed trips, but not a single handed channel crossing.
I'll probably take a few extra precautions, like being a bit more specific with my passage plan and letting SWMBO know when I should be calling and when to start panicking if I haven't, plus i'll keep a lifejacket on which i wouldn't normally do.
The forecast looks OK, so my only real concern is fog, which we seem to hit most times we cross the channel. I normally like to stick a pair of eyes and ears on the flybridge while I concentrate on the radar in v low viz
Would you do anything else different?
