Departed St Cast 1110 and arrived at St Quay 1655 (all times now French local time = FT). Av O.G 4.2 knots. Av O.W. 4.7 knots. Weather NNW 3/4. Sunny int / Shwrs. Sea state Mod/Sl, viz good. Excellent welcome with two staff on a rib guiding us into the visitors berths, and actually mooring up to go ashore and catch our lines. Staff ashore very keen to help and Manager Jean Michel went out of his way to make us at home. €26 plus showers extra. 50% discount for Trans Europe Marina Gp. No major supermarket near and 15 minute walk into the town. Good restaurants on site. Refuelled 21L for approx 17hrs motoring. Stayed two nights in hope of getting mainsail repaired, but French holiday weekend!
