We have found the sun and paradise !  No need to travel further.

 

More fresh langoustines still live and wriggling, just unloaded from the incoming fishing boat at 1700hrs.  Then in the pot within minutes, Valerie said they were trying to climb out.  Never will they taste the same again as the freshly caught, still live ones from the home of langoustines, ‘The Bay of Benodet’. 

 

A lovely down wind sail yesterday with the wind kindly gone around to the North, surfing along at 7 knots, with the genoa poled out and a full mainsail goose winged.  The perfect day, sunshine all the way to Loctudy.

 

The beaches all around us have this beautiful white sand and gin clear sea.

 

We have just been to see the local poissonnerie and have purchase some lovely fresh hake for dinner to have when we are moored at Benodet this evening.
