Virgin Territory - A club trip to Sark April 5, 2007
Posted by onthetrain in : Uncategorized , trackbackThree weeks ago captain sulky came out to play. I was gutted when at our dive planning meeting for this seasons midweek evening dives the club decided to cancel a planned trip to Cornwall (Porthkerris). I was gutted as I had passed up a couple of other offers on trips and am trying desperatly in the face of constant crap weather to get some hours in the sea on my Inspiration rebreather.
All was not lost however. A week or so later a new club member told us that she had contacts at a diving operation on Sark in the channel Islands. Better still (for us) a booking had fallen through and both boat and accomodation were available for Easter. We managed to pull together a group willing to go at short notice and booked boat, ferry and accomodation. So, the rebreather is prepped, and I’m off to pack my bags ready for an early start tomorrow when we travel the 25 miles to Weymouth to catch the fast cat for the journey to Guesrnsey.
The dive boat will pick us up in Guernsey and after dropping our dry gear in Sark it’s off for two dives. After a couple of dives each day until Monday we catch the ferry on Monday evening for the journey home. With the weather set fair it should be a great weekend.
An update when I return.
