   Having fun watching the continuing seafaring adventures of @goatsarah and her crew thanks to the boating equivalent of FlightRadar. Yesterday they left Cherbourg at lunchtime and were moored up in St Peter Port Guernsey in time for tea. Today they’re headed south west towards the French coast (somewhere like Roscoff I guess). It’s like following Greta all over again https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/shipid:3886856/zoom:11

     @goatsarah Using two fingers as dividers to extrapolate where you’d got in three hours I was thinking it was probably too far but I couldn’t see much evidence of mariners in other places. Brest tomorrow?

     @goatsarah That sounds like one of those mind puzzles involving snakes and rabbits or lettuces. Could it be worth getting a ferry from Cherbourg to fetch the car?

     @zoe @goatsarah @ajlanes Ah.. I was thinking more along the lines that you take buses to Cherbourg and send one over to collect the car whilst the other two get an Air BnB to await their return. See? In my head it’s much more like ferrying snakes and rabbits and lettuces across the river 😂

     @zoe @goatsarah @christineburns AIUI when it comes to rail France is even more capital-centric than the UK, and the funding follows that...

     @goatsarah @christineburns It’s frustrating that France has cracked down on short haul flights but not inter-regional train pricing being OTT.
