6 May – boring motorsail East
Depart Ste Evette 0630
Arrive Port Tudy, Ile de Groix 1700 60 miles
Wind Ef1/2 (on the nose again), still very cold
Full ski thermals again (getting a bit wiffy as worn every day). Slipped at
first light without waking crew . Went S of Glenans then “tacked” 20 degrees to
try and keep the main working a bit. Port Tudy surprisingly full, so tied up
alongside a Frenchy. Managed to get the power cable to reach so could get the
kettle on (remember, for Jane’s hw bottle) and the fan heater goin. First beer
in a grockle trap on the front, but Rosemary did manage to get a couple of
baguettes FOC from the next door hotel, and then sniffed out a magnificent bar
just up the hill with draft Guinness and Kilkenny, free tuna rillettes and bread
– and the barman was a John Lennon lookalike. So we stopped for a second (which
made it three!) Just reward after a boring 11 hour motor.
Great photos of bar on Jane`s ipad – we must get the software to transfer
it to my laptop. Will show you when we
can. |
