We emerged from the boat blinking and sore after yesterday's hard journey, into a bright warm day in Dieppe.
It was a late start; porridge at noon. The facilities sanitaire were a third of a mile from the boat so the walk to the showers woke us up.
With just a day to savour the delights of the town, we headed for the chief attraction. Another chateau. But this time, it looked the part with round towers and massive walls. The museum inside boasted a melange of artistic offerings including Pissarros and Sisleys and Braques.
The view from the chateau across the crooked roof tops of Dieppe was a joy.
We dawdled in an authentic cafe bar for coffee and baguette while a gaggle of older ladies did a crossword at high volume.
Then back to Sirena IV to plan the rest of the trip with our huge Channel chart. Tides and distances, vectors and headings. ..you know the thing. Decision? Back to Blighty tomorrow, weather permitting. Then work our way West to Poole to leave the boat there for a few weeks. But with sailing, a plan is only a plan.
