Left Trébeurden 09.30 great F4-6 beat to Roscoff. Fantastic sail, caught up slowly with Cavoks V, but only because she was reefed. Owner was a retired Japanese ANA pilot on his way to Spain. Moored on waiting buoy, entered old harbour but a bit shallow and v.simpatico port official let us go into new harbour and use a chalutier’s spot on the quay. Had a great dinner at La Moussaillonne overlooking the harbour and our boat. Had a long chat with a French woman who was looking at the boat, she’d sailed Argentina, the Antarctic etc. Robbie & Tom left on the evening ferry to Plymouth.
