The trip back to the boat was scenic, we went the long route and Dave insisted on going to the most Southerly point he could find in the car and then ask the next local out walking for directions on how to get to the North coast!! A middle aged male with his dog was the unsuspecting victim, and proceeded to explain the best route to take! That’s the last time he takes his dog for a walk without moral support! He did sound a lovely man (literally) and must have taken a liking to Dave to help him as much as he did!!

After dropping the car back it was back to the boat and off to the Yacht Club. Due to the obscenely large amounts of food consumed at lunch no one was particularly hungry and the drinking began instead!! Several drinks and hours later it was off to town for a good night out. However, like Guernsey, Jersey comes to a standstill with the mention of the word ‘Bank holiday’ and all clubs were closed! Shane did however manage to convince the employees at McDonalds to give him some free food. He must have really looked a state; they probably thought he was homeless or something! There’s this young adult banging on the door of McDonalds begging to be let in because his friends are in there, and all they can do is open the door and give him a few burgers. They were free of charge so he didn’t mind and in fact found it extremely amusing!

Saturday morning and it was up bright and early. As this was the last day, it was planned that the most was going to be made of it. First things first was to get some sustenance inside- this came in the form of the biggest full English breakfast known to man for Aidy, Dave and Shane, and Karen somehow managed to devoir 2 rather substantial scones with jam and cream for starters, followed by a slab of carrot cake. Where she managed to pack that lot away I don’t know!

After breakfast, come brunch, come lunch, it was shopping time around St Helier and then off to the chandleries for a look around and some final boating bits! Rather like DIY shops chandleries, you know what’s in there but you go anyway to see if anything new has arrived, spend what seems like 2 hours (long hours at that) aimlessly wandering round with no real intentions in mind only to come out with the plastic card slightly more warn and armfuls of shopping that really isn’t required!! Typical male behaviour I guess though!
