Camaret
Woke up to a stunning morning in Lampaul with a bit of a breeze and sunshine. Sailed most of the way towards Brest before coming into Camaret, a small town just outside that has three marinas. The wind was building … Continue reading
Idyllic Ouessant
The wind died today so it was a motor to L’Ouessant (Ushant). The tides across and between the islands are similar to the Alderney Race with 5 knots in our favour even at Neaps. The pilotage was relatively simple – … Continue reading
Lovely L’Aber Wrac’h
Left Trebeurden just before high water in order to traverse the channel between Roscoff and the Ile de Batz. This took at least a couple of hours off the journey. We then had a lovely sail with the right amount … Continue reading

Nous sommes arrivées!
Finally, we have made it across the channel yesterday. We left around 0600 and got into Cherbourg around 1900 UK time. There was very little wind and what there was, was on the nose of course. Still happy to finally … Continue reading
Nimmie knows best or maybe just doesn’t want to leave
There we were thinking that we were about to leave and Nimmie decided we weren’t! The fail safe equipment decided to jam. Somehow the hydro vane that is our wind driven auto pilot managed to get jammed and a pin … Continue reading
Cost cutting gone too far?
I know we have to be conscious of costs from now on in but I think we can afford getting our hair cut now and then. Liz, however, clearly has other ideas!
