The following series of
photographs were taken in Cherbourg this past Summer. Quite coincidentally 5
Parker boats converged in the marina at Cherbourg in July where bad weather
kept everyone locked in for 3 days. After that 'Stroller' went on to Alderney
before crossing the Channel. 'Nosey Parker' and 'Speedwell' went with the wind
to St Vaast and 'Many Moons' and 'Zest' went on to the Channel Islands (where
they met Parker 275 'Alchemist' in Guernsey).
