Great video. I think the only improvement would have been to say how much each stay at each marina cost you. Those of us on a budget would appreciate that.
Very nice video. Thank you for posting. I'd love to do a similar trip one day. This season we are planning to sail to Cherbourg over one of the long weekends in May (weather permitting). You say, that the check out was not great? Was it the location specific or is it the new reality in general unfortunately? Fair winds!
Dieppe was not set up for the new process. You had to go to the ferry terminal where they would fit you in when there was someone there and they were not busy with the twice daily ferry to the UK. It meant wasted journeys and hanging around a lot. Whereas Cherbourg used specific port police to do the formalities and they were very well set up and efficient for both checking in and out. So location specific, need to do some research before you choose your ports. Apparently Calais is poor as well.
Very nice. Cheers from Annapolis USA!
Thanks for the vid. As a sailer I am missing the sailing part as wind, time, speed, tide … .

Planning on doing this route next year, so very helpful. Thanks
Thanks - here's a link to just overhead view of the ports. ua-cam.com/video/wyEQRRRzBMY/v-deo.html
