Guilvinec

OK so we did go to Audierne but there was no room so ended up anchored at St Evette just outside. The cruise south across Duarnanez Bay and around the Pointe de Raz was very wet, cold and rough in places. John decided not to wait for the tide so for about 5 min we were only going forward at 1 knot but at least it was forward and not back or sideways. The anchorage was fine but we had picked up a mosquito at some point, so I now have 5 bites to John's one. We decided to move on as weather wasn't great, quite foggy so our planned ride back to the Pointe to see it from the top would have been pointless and probably miserable. Instead we headed across the Audierne Bay but although next to no wind there were rollers and we were taking them beam on urgh, the cats were all over the shop sliding on the deck and seats, they insist on being outside whatever the weather. Well I didn't make it all the way but they did so their sea legs are now officially better than mine. Once we cleared the headland we came into Guilvenic. We were a bit unsure about where to moor up but think we're OK. Cousteau jumped ashore as soon as she decided we were close enough. This is a working fishing port but also has a lovely residential area and beaches. Today from about 4:30 till 6:00 fishing boats were coming in to offload their catches, there were about 30boats in and then off to their moorings, juggling the offloading space, John loved it. Here are some photos but I hope to get better ones. Also Cartier looking cuteRead more
