Alderney

Well - the first "marina" on the list is not a marina. Apologies I have been asked to produce a page for Alderney by popular demand. People are keen to have further information on Alderney as it is such a strategic place to stop off.

One of the best web sites is http://www.sailalderney.com/voyages.html - very comprehensive

There are some 70 yellow buoys for visitors which provide a good, secure mooring. If the wind is from the north west to East - beware of the waves over the breakwater and possible roll in the harbour!
