    Lunch a bit late

    June 27, 2017 in France ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    So spent the morning chatting with Dick and Sally, it was great, John and I get a bit bored of talking to each other sometimes so it’s lovely to hear new opinions and get some local updates. Not that much has changed apparently.
    Left 12ish and hugged the coast towards Pornichet really interesting coastline lots of coves and caves. Saw the Blockhaus, big German bunker to you and I, planning to ride back that way if not raining over next few days, but probably won't be paying to go inside. Seen one seen them all! John was a bit shell shocked when we cleared the headland and he had his first ever look at La Baule lots of high rises, very developed. We stopped for lunch at a sand bank as when we started to cross the bay we realised it was low water and there was only 4ft under the keel, didn't want to get stuck so officially dropped anchor, ate and waited for tide to rise. 😉
    Sadly it looks like if I want to do any real swimming I may have to buy a jelly suit as there were loads in the water on the beach this morning😢 anything from 5cm to 30cm across.

    Jess has been keeping me up to date and Cousteau is doing OK but wants to go outside now. She has escaped a couple of times already, as any cat owner knows who has had to keep a cat in it is not easy if the cat wants out.
