Some boats left today creating some space so we moved again in the anchorage bringing us closer to the head of the bay with a shorter and dryer dinghy ride to get anywhere.  We 'parked' off L'Auberge restaurant which has a reputation for serving good lobster stored in their own tanks.  The lobster season ends on 30 April so we were both quite keen to have some before it was too late.
 
The afternoon on Wednesday was characterised by more torrential rain se we didn't leave the boat during the day.
 
 
You can barely see the headland across the bay:-
 
 
 
 
 
Now you can't:-
 
 
 
 
 
The building on the shore is L'Auberge restaurant where we hope to go to this evening if the rain stops:-

The rain did stop in the evening and after bailing the water out of the dinghy we went ashore and had a very good dinner.  We both had tender lobster thermidor.  Lobster is so expensive in the UK we wonder what the fuss is about but when it is more reasonably priced - and fresh - it's so nice.
