09.08.14 – St Evette to Port le Foret

True distance 35 Nm, final log reading 38.2 Nm. Departed St Evette 0756 and arrived at Port le Foret marina 1520. Av O.G. 4.7 knots. Av O.W. 5.1 knots. Weather V2>S4 with 1.3m swell. Sunny and hot, with no wind until the very end, so motor sailed all the way part from 30 minutes true sailing off Concarneau. Passed the Eckmuhl lighthouse at 1100 and entered the warmer weather of southern Brittany! We had e mailed Port le Foret whilst at St Evette to notify them that we would be arriving several days ahead of our booked date, and even though the port was closed of a regatta, they were very accommodating and had reserved a berth for us. Sarah and Adrian bade farewell on the next day and headed back to Roscoff and home. Whilst the Chenal and Raz were very benign their support and company was appreciated!. We left for home by bus from Quimper to Roscoff and ferry as foot passengers on the 14th.

Point de Penmarc’h in grey conditions. Known as to where the sun starts!
