Alderney

Since we arrived at Alderney, it weirdly feels like only now our adventure has truly begun. After a slow and sunny sail we arrived late in the afternoon at Alderney. We've only a few mooring buoys left we were lucky to find a spot in the front with a beautiful view at sea, old WWII bunkers and Maeve (Barbara and Constantijn). We quickly set up our dinghy for the first time to get ashore and stroll to the bunkers we were looking at from the Nimrod down below. The view was stunning, of course partly because we were looking down at OUR Nimrod calmly floating in the bay of the first Channel Island. Later in the evening Maeve invited us over for a drink and a good conversation. We were very looking forward to these social moments with fellow adventurers.

We took our dinghy out to explore a bit more, it was adventure time, of the north western side of the island including two forts and the pig farm on day two. Being born in 1995, the year of the Pig according to Chinese tradition, ofcourse I had to say hello.

We have really enjoyed our time here at Alderney. The island, the beaches, the forts and even much more we haven't discovered yet are beautiful. Our days here made us even more excited about the next coming trips.Read more
