My brother (who lives in Bath) used to have a share in a narrow boat, so some years ago Jan and I went for a week on the canals with him. We passed through beautiful countryside, very tranquil when you are meandering along at 2-3 miles per hour, only to be woken with a jolt when you come to yet

Yes, day trips are only viable when the tides are right - and they're probably not by the sound of it. To get a full day in Guernsey, it might be necessary to have 2 nights there so you'll have to decide on that basis. Keep in touch off-list as I'm not here often these days... Chris On Fri, 17
