As regulars viewers may know I went on the Ancasta Cruising Club trip to Guernsey over the bank holiday weekend.

I took the boat over to Herm and Sark and anchored up for lunch in a beautiful bay. Got there via the Guiliot Passage. That is pretty hair raising! Choppy overfalls and steep sided rocks give way to flat calm and a wide bay on the other side.

I strapped the GoPro to the windscreen wipers and took a time lapse video of the trip. See it here: http://sealineowners.club/video.php

Anyone interested in seeing photos of the whole cruise can see them here: https://flic.kr/s/aHskAKWZHd
 
Can't see the video. Nothing on the page that opens.

Nice pictures though of what must have been a very fun trip.

Try it now. I have replaced the Flash video with an MP4 that should be visible on all modern browsers including iPads.

Still doesn't work for me on a Macbook
 
Thanks! Works fine now. Both on iPad and on macbook.

Nice vid, a great memory of the trip, I'm sure. Must have been a very nice trip.
 
Now - here's a thing.

Your old girl knows those waters well

This pic of the Guiliot Passage was taken from her bows - a good few years ago.

And later she was rafted up against several other forum boats just on the south side of the Guiliot Passage.

And here she is again
The trailing wire was my first experimentation into AIS.
Long before it was generally available, I hooked up a PC and connected an AIS feed.
Even in those days, AIS proved to be a success.

Well, well, well. What do you know!

I thought that bay after the passage was very nice. What is even more spooky is that when we anchored me and my friend sat for a long time on the bathing platform, back resting on the transom, looking out to sea in just the same way as the folks in your picture!

Someone has moved the ensign position since that photo was taken.
 
i was round that way on a lovely evening last friday. The Gouliot passage runs between Sark and Brecqhou and I remember when the Class 1 powerboats used to thunder through in the late eighties in powerboat week. The bay the other side is Havre Gosselin.

Here's a grainy pic of the Barclay brothers massive castle on Brecqhou that they built about 15 years ago!
