After rain last night it was still raining and not much wind at 05:30. Nobody felt like a trip to Cherbourg or Alderney in rain, not much wind and poor vis. Went back to bed. Eventually took the bus to Blackgang Chine and did the amusements (apart from the rides). Then walked along the cliff path to Ventnor. Only problem was no proper lunch. Still we survived and saw the interesting "undercliff" which has an unusual geology in that the cliff has collapsed in a special way. Cream tea at Ventor and bus back. Warm sun for much of the time.
Forecast now looks OK for crossing tomorrow. Well no storms anyway, but wind strength and direction may not be much good. Only problem is that some of the weather websites predict lots of wind from NE for Alderney on Thurs. Maybe go to Cherbourg.
