Passing the Raz de Sein
48:00.45N 04:33.07W We woke up to the usual windy, wet and grey morning we have
to come to expect in Camaret. However we glimpsed blue sky for about 15
mins, just to tease us. Fortunately the wind had veered by 180 degrees
and was now Northerly , which was much more helpful for our trip south.
More importantly, it now meant we were being ‘blown off’ our marina
berth rather than being pinned to it by the southerly wind of the previous two
days. This greatly eased our departure and avoid any embarrassing
berthing incidents! Stella at Camaret We left Camaret at 1500h in order to arrive at the Raz de
Sein at slack water at 1830h. With the wind behind us, we had a lazy sail
with just the head sails to Audierne, where we picked up a visitor mooring at
Ste Evette. Exactly on cue, as we rounded La Plate at the Raz de Sein,
the sun came out! Rounding the Raz de Sein Tomorrow we plan to sail to Benodet and then go ‘creek
crawling’ up the river Odet. Sun at last |
