Newlyn (England) to Benodet (France)

Dear Reader(s),

Please forgive the lack of photos in this episode.  Normally I would blame the dog.
I blame the dog.

We returned to Newlyn (mainly to get away from the dog) and found the boat still to be there. This was good.

After much eating and rejoicing with Angela and Martin we set sail for The Helford River (which was, I believe, designed and built by Daphne du Maurier). The Helford River is very pretty but also pretty full up with boats. We anchored for the night before setting sail again to see Angela and Martin who brought a lot chicken.  We also saw E and J and T and had a BBQ with them  which was also very nice (I hope this isn't too cryptic for you, Dear Reader ?).

Next off, Falmouth Marina to L'Aber Wrac'h (Jean helped me spell that).
Falmouth to L'Abers is a long way and involved sailing at night and not bumping into fishing boats in the dark fog at 0300.  It is also important not to get stuff wound around ones propeller when avoiding fishing boats in the dark French fog.
We arrived and slept very well next day.

We like L'Abers.

An important question:
Can fame be achieved by seeing someone famous, especially if one manages to say a very relaxed and generally unconcerned sounding "Good morning" to the famous couple when returning from the boulangerie as well as pretending not to be even slightly excited when the said couple followed us to our restaurant and sat at a table (almost) next to us?
The said couple being none other than Libby and Paul ....... need I say more ?

Where to from L'Abers ? (I hear you say)

Ushant   ... why not? ( I've been working on that one).
We visited Le Stiff in Ouessant but found him to be remarkably alive (think about it).
On Ouessant we hired bikes and went to a museum and a Tea shop (but no sign of the Irish Premier there).

Next off La Molene.  "A sand bank with houses".
We had a nice walk. No celebrities  (ourselves excluded), par des stiffs, mais c'est jolie, je croix.

From La Molene to Camenbert. A small fishing village near Camaret. We liked it so much that Jean went for a run and we stayed 3 days.

Camaret to St Evette. We anchored and slept well.

St Evette to Benodet
We are in the very nice marina where we will wait for Martin.
Martin is weatherproof and will help us cross The Bay.
