Camaret interesting place – as well as art shops, cafes etc also an ending place for old fishing boats which again makes interesting place for tourists and artists and Dianne took lots of pictures looking for the perfect shot! In the afternoon went for a walk along spectacular cliffs, but then rain and mist came so were forced to return to town and sit and drink tea watching the world go by! Very nice and best meal of the trip ashore so far in nice little restaurant, which was full – always a good sign.
Wednesday last big passage for a while 55 Nm – left Camaret at 1030 – first 15 miles motor sailed into wind to reach Raz De Sein at slack water – another notorious point with strong currents and very rough in bad weather, but as you can see fine for us. After that we had best sail of holiday for a good 5-6 hours in 12-14 knots of wind on the beam, glorious sunshine and boat humming along at over 7knots – almost felt like the boat was enjoying it also, but actually being a heavier boat doesn’t like light winds but get above 10 knots and she really flies along. Last 5 miles into Loctudy bit of navigation exercise buoy hopping between rocks – always bit disconcerting to be 2 miles offshore in only 4m of water , anyway arrived Loctudy at 1930 – very peaceful marina and river – a beer, supper with wine in sunshine and after a long day sailing early to bed inevitable! Both very relaxed. Plan to explore around here today and stay pottering around south Brittany for at least next 2 weeks. Thanks for comments on blog. Hope you all well Love P&D.
