Smoked salmon and prawn salad on a Tradewind 35 somewhere in the Chunnel.
The sunset is taken looking to westward. Unless its a sunrise in which case its looking dodgy

You're great at this! I spotted the prawn salad and salmon but how the heck did you know it was smoked!

That's Parahandy. If it's not smoked now, it will be soon

There's certain to be smidgin of horseradish in there as well - the auld goat has knackered his taste buds on Woodbines so needs the stimulus of spices to assure himself that he is actually eating

According to the compass they are on 210 degrees or south south west. Angle of the sun suggests this was taken in the evening. This could mean they are heading for France. Or perhaps just going in the wrong direction

North coast of France between Cherbourg and the Alderney race, and you're heading for St Peter Port.
I Think

The first photo shows the north coast of Jersey, the second sunset over St Malo Bay, the third Sark with Guernsey in the background. We had left Cherbourg at 10:30 am and were in St Quay Portrieux 100 miles away 14 hours later having sailed virtually all the way. Not bad for a MAB;-)
