Having fun watching the continuing seafaring adventures of @goatsarah and her crew thanks to the boating equivalent of FlightRadar. Yesterday they left Cherbourg at lunchtime and were moored up in St Peter Port Guernsey in time for tea. Today they’re headed south west towards the French coast (somewhere like Roscoff I guess). It’s like following Greta all over again marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/…

It’s frustrating that France has cracked down on short haul flights but not inter-regional train pricing being OTT.

@zoe @ajlanes When Mum and Dad had the boat in La Rochelle they regularly cross the channel with the car (a Jaguar XK) and after a few trips they got pulled aside the car the thoroughly searched by UK customs.

@ajlanes I don't even know how to begin to research the rules for someone driving a British car in France using a Portuguese driving licence.

Fortunately with these corner cases, they usually baffle the plod enough they give up worrying about it too.
