It was good to catch up with everyone at Euro - including 'hopalong' Andy - at least his models were safe!.
The show was a bit quiet but good to go to.
My trip home went pear shaped. My Monday ferry was scheduled to leave at 9.20 to arrive in Guernsey at 12.20 - a 3 hour trip. Unfortunately the vessel went technical and was taken out of service, replaced with a conventional ferry, and the revised eta changed to 16.00. Normally the ferry route is Poole - Guernsey - Jersey. Unfortunately the Jersey harbour is very tidal and on some tidal the window to get into an out of the harbour is such the schedule changes to fo to Jersey before Guernsey, which adds over 4 hours onto the trip to Guernsey. This was one of those days!
It got worse. We departed from Poole an hour late, they failed to make up the time, infact arrived in Jersey late. After awhile in Jersey we were told that we had missed the tide and could not get out of the harbour, so had to wait an hour or so for the tide to come back in so we could leave the harbour.
I eventually disembarked at 20 minutes past midnight.
