Wash Day in Loctudy

South Brittany

We've made it at last ! South Brittany. Nice lighthouse on the Raz de Seine.

We arrived at Loctudy yesterday evening. Had to wait outside the harbour for 2 hours because I thought it wasnt deep enough (tides and stuff). It was hot on deck so we dropped the anchor and I had a brief snooze.

Have developed a new and cunning plan for getting into marinas.
1. Drop Angela on a pontoon and motor away again.
2. Angela recruits a team of burly sailors to catch our boat
3. We motor in to our berth
4. Aforesaid sailors try to stop us from hitting anything.

Unforunately, Angela is setting off for home today as she has to be back on Sunday.
This will leave just Jean and me ... unless any of you avid blog followers would like to join us?

Confusion in Camaret

Arrived Camaret Thursday afternoon.
Sunny and warm at last.
Had a good sail down the Chanel de Fours (see picture) then across the Rade de Brest (NE F5 …lovely).

Spent an enjoyable hour helping single-handed English sailors bring in their huge boats. No damage done.

Now the problem.
We’ve been to Carentan, we’ve been past Carentec and not far from Carteret and I think we’re in Camaret but it might be Cabaret or possibly Camenbert.
Surely the French can make this a little easier for us.
Perhaps a port beginning with “B” or “P”. Please not Crawley next.

Jean and Angela have gone shopping; leaving me to “play with my ropes” … Oh, if only they understood the loneliness of command.

I think I’ll have a small beer.

L'Aber Wrac'h Marina

Monday 2200 L'Aber Wrac'h

L'Aber Wrac'h

Picked up Angela in Morlaix on Sunday.
Anchored outside that night. A bit wobbly.
Up at 7 today (well, Jean was up at 6.30 to make the tea)
Arrived L'Aberwatsit at 1400 F5-6 all the way. Some big waves, but Angela managed to stop me getting wet. Safely tied up now in the marina. Boat looks like a laundry.
All well

Treburden

Thursday.

Raining, windy and foggy in Treburden Marina.

Drinking tea and eating Pain au Chocolat on the boat.

Cosy and warm.
