We had four days in St Helier marina and cycled the four miles round the bay to St Aubin twice. On the Saturday after adjusting the failing engine mounts we left the marina after the staff very kindly and with great skill used their dinghy to turn us around in between the pontoons.
It was a gentle motor across the bay and there is just enough room for Ti Gitu on the end of the wall in St Aubin. There are several local boats on the wall which appear to have just been dumped here. In fact it is noticeable that in several of the drying harbours around the bay there are an incredible number of unused and un cared for boats.
The new engine mountings will take at least a week to arrive as nothing is flown into this island any more, it all comes by the ferry which takes ages. The company supplying them were going to send them by Evri rather than their normal carrier, which I refused and paid a lot extra to have them sent via another carrier which because of the no flying goods will probably not work any better.
