Nick arrived safely last night, and this morning we
both got weaving early, Nick to the the depot de pain for breakfast fodder, and
then to Leclerc to get the supplies we needed.
Roger got the car back to Hertz in Lorient, then
the bus out to Kenevel and we both arrived at the same time, then we filled with
water and got the boat ready for sea.
We left at about quarter past ten, and motorsailed
into a headwind - only about 3 kts which gradually built until we got to the
Iles Glenans where it became a solid 15 to 17 knots (as forecast).
We had about 3 hours of head butting a short
chop until we got to Pointe de Penmarc'H where we were at last able to bear away
and had a lovely 3 hour sail to this pretty little anchorage just outside
Audierne.
The visitors buoys were fullish with large boats,
and when Nick put us neatly onto a buoy a large Halberg Rassy told us that that
was not a good idea as the previous boat had hit him while on the
mooring...
We took the hint and decided that we would anchor,
as we have a bit more privacy and are not cheek by jowl with several other
Brits.
We saw dozens of boats today - the season has
definitely started and the harbours are filling up, a good time to be exiting
Brittanny.
Tomorrow an early start to try and get to
L'Aber'Wrac by the evening - with the Raz de Sein and the Chenal de Four to
overcome!.
Today was a lovely day and it was great to have
Nick on board - too long since the last time!
