4-5 th Aug
Strong wind and bit of wet stuff for short hop (12 Nm) to Loctudy and place really filled up in the evening but we managed to get finger pontoon. Evening watched all fishing boats come in - there are about 3-4 shops selling fish direct to pubic – loads and loads of people milling around and boats sell some of their catch, including crabs, direct to public on jetty & rest goes to main warehouse. We bought some langoustines for supper. Wind forecast for Thursday not ideal so decided to stay in Loctudy.
Thursday good day again, took ferry with our bikes across to Isle Tudy – excellent long and flat ride along coast and sand dunes – we cycled for an hour and still didn’t get to the end, mind you I seemed to develop a slow puncture and had to stop every 10 mins to blow tyre up. Guess I’ll have to change all inner tubes on return to UK. Back in little quaint town, decided to have long lunch French way –delicious crab, dessert and coffee – think we chose best place (just to right of Dianne) as it was full of French people eating every sort of fish and some of the best fruit de mer I have ever seen. Forecast for Friday much better so early start, 0700 for 55 Nm to Camaret. Heading home and have 4 long passages to get back to Guernsey where we hope to spend 2-3 days before heading across channel next weekend.
