We spent Sat 5 Sep in Cherbourg after deciding that moving on to Guernsey was too risky due to a combo of tide timings, shorter daylight and weather forecast.
Disappointing flea market behind Basilica though we were late. Excellent charity shop. Saw the famous (apparently) parapluie factory- see pic above. Excellent lunch of galettes in cafe with history, only went in to escape the torrential rain.
In general Cherbourg seems much nicer than our collective vague memories. We would return.
More agonising over missing Channel Islands but could not make it work at acceptable risk. Planned a return to Poole instead and went to bed early, only to have divers banging against the boat. Got up and swore at them. Fastnet boats tied up all round us,some left in the night.
