Saturday 26th August - I'll d'Yeu

Image
Strong winds forecast so I'll rest here for a couple of nights. It seems to be a popular holiday spot where everyone dresses down, rides around on ancient bicycles and drives old bangers but I can tell they're loaded. Do you see what I mean?

Friday 24th August. - St Nazaire

Thursday 24th August - Lorient.

Sinister looking lighthouse at the deadly Raz du Stein, which was a doddle.

Wednesday 23rd August. Camaret. Fuel stop.

Cameret looks nice but no time to stop. Bad weather on the way.

Tuesday 22nd August. Roscoff.

Image

Monday 22nd August. Leaving St Malo.

To see how far I can get before the weather changes. It's a lovely place. I recommend it.

Margaux. 13 years old. Before a forced march around St Malo city walls.

Tuesday 15th August - picking up Margaux from her Grandparents.

Image

Friday 11th August - St Malo

Image
£20 a night in the marina! That's cheaper than the east coast and nearly half the price of Eastbourne or Brighton. And WiFi that actually works!

Thursday 10th August. St Peter's port, Guernsey.

Image
St Peter's port. View from the anchorage. And diesel only 80p a litre!

Wednesday 9th August. Eastbourne to St Malo (I hope)

Looking at the forecast. I'll be here until Wednesday.

Saturday 5th August - Eastbourne.

Image
It's bad here but I'm glad I'm not in the west country. This was you last night Madeleine. What was it like. Do you still have a roof? Only thing to do today. A few pints with Mr Dodd.
