Slow Boat From Sark to Guernsey

This is dedicated to all those stuck on the M5,M25 and all the congested roads of the world! I live on the small but beautiful island of Guernsey and was fortunate to be working on the even smaller and more beautiful island of Sark in the first week of June. The only way to get there is boat, as there wasn't anything else to do while stuck 'in traffic' I recorded the trip on my phone-cam (Nokia N73) The reason we travel by tractor trailer and boat is that other forms of motorised transport are out-lawed in Sark. On the return from Sark we pass to the north of the island of Brecqhou and to the south of Herm and Jethou and approach Guernsey as 2 fast ferries are passing in the Russel.

NATIONAL ANTHEM OF GUERNSEY

The Bailiwick of Guernsey (French: Bailliage de Guernesey) is a British Crown dependency in the English Channel off the coast of Normandy. As well as the island of Guernsey itself, it also includes Alderney, Sark, Herm, Jethou, Brecqhou, Burhou, Lihou and other islets. Although the defence of all these islands is the responsibility of the United Kingdom, Guernsey is not part of the UK but rather a separate possession of the Crown, comparable to the Isle of Man. Guernsey is also not a member of the European Union. The island of Guernsey is divided into 10 parishes. Together with the Bailiwick of Jersey, it is included in the collective grouping known as the Channel Islands. Guernsey belongs to the Common Travel Area.
