Z17: Devon, Britanny & Channel Islands
From Torquay we will sail South along the coast from Devon to Salcombe and Darthmouth. A beautiful and picturesque river estuary. Then we cross over to the Channel Islands, a distance of 66 miles, so that means we will arrive late. We probably go to a nice anchorage at Herm or Sark. The next destination depends on the weather forecast, another Channel Island or maybe we sail to Brittany. The island archipelago of Ile de Brehat is one of our goals as well as the beautiful estuary to Lezardieux where there is a marina. At Ile de Brehat we go at anchor and ashore for a beautiful walk.
The tidal range (difference between ebb and flood) is huge. This is one of the charming things of sailing in this area, strong tidal currents and a large tidal difference of up to 12 meters with spring tide. “Not for the faint hearted” as the British say. Due to the large tidal difference the scenery is constantly changing and with the many unique rock formations that is a wonderful sight.
Next we sail back to the Channel Islands. Also a special sailing area with the typical British friendly atmosphere and beautiful scenery combined. The tide is the clock and we will have to sail with the flow and calculate when we can go in or out the harbors. After, or before the sailing, there is also time to walk along the coast or in the cozy towns.
This sailing holiday is a nice mixture between the French and British culture, with delicious croissants at breakfast and cozy pubs in the evening. Moreover relaxed sailing along beautiful scenery with spectacular tides and also time for sightseeing. We end up in St. Helier on Jersey.
The day-distances vary between 7 and 66 miles.
The above schedule is subject to weather, wind and tide.
