Once again no
wind, so again motored against the tide and currents that eddy quite
spectaculary.
  Skipper with La Corne to his left,
lumpy stuff to avoid and in the river a mussel farm.
 Treguier marina seen from the bridge,
the harbourmaster recognised Beez Neez and our prior visits on
Razzmatazz.
   Treguier seen from the marina, the
bridge over to the chandlers on the right, which is a two storey Aladdin's cave.
I had new trolling lines bought for me.
 This whole area, car park, up this
hill and into cathedral square is covered with stalls every Wednesday for
an amazing market.
The economy is in saw-milling, boat
building, flaxstripping and tourism. There is trade in cereal, cloth and
potatoes.
 A really pretty little town. Treguier
grew up round a monastery founded by St Tudwall. The philosopher and historian of religion, Ernest Renan was born
here.
 The cathedral is remarkable because it
has three towers over the transept.
Off again tomorrow (Friday the fourth
of July) to Treburden.
