Last minute plans promote adventure

INCE I was going on about watching the calendar when making travel plans I guess it’s a good idea to jump ahead a bit and tell you how the calendar did us in tor the second time this trip.

Ill get back to Scotland in a while but for now, Jet me explain how you can set out

tor the Channel tstands (Jersey) and end up in Dover Easy. Just arrive in

London on a Saturday morn. ing and try to book the over

night ferry trip from Port smouth to Jersey for that night “‘Sorrys, Ma’am, no

crossing on Saturday mght"’

What do you do on a Saturday in London, with no hotel reservation and ono place to po? You unpack your sutteases in the middle ot a crowded railway station, sorting out a couple of clean Shirts, Some underwear and “Sand put them in a fitthe satchel

Just a bit of vital informa- tyon about the Link Ferry. It leaves Portsmouth for Guernsey and Jersey at about midnight. You arrive in Guernsey about six a.m. and Jersey 2 hours later. It 1s essential to have a cabin -— but, they always seem to be fully booked. On my first visit | discovered an almost foolproot method of getung a cabin, as long as there’s two of you traveling. When the boarding queue begins to form, get as close as you can to the front of the line. Pile all your baggage ona cart for one of vou to look after

As soon as you pass through the ucket taker, one of you meanders along with the bags. The other takes off hke a scalded cat and runs for the ship. Up the gangway and immediately to your right 1s the Purser’s Office. Get your name on the top of the list for

cabin cancellations — on each crossing there are at least 10 cabins reserved but

unclaimed

Go and relax in the lounge upstairs and wait until the ship starts to move listen carefully to the PA an-

nouncements and tf you move

fast enough you'll get your cabin.

I just read that the whole Link system is being upgrad- ed for the 1985 season Good thing! Asis, the Link Ferries really make you appreciate all the good things our BC Ferry system does!
