Groix

OK so sorry no original photos of Concarneau we didn't have time to get back into the walled city so I used some from the Internet, I did manage a 30min jog in the morning, at the moment it is much too hot to run in the evening. Then after showers and securing the cats we headed south towards Les Isles de Glenans, we stopped at the one furthest East, Penfret for lunch and a swim. There seemed to be a lot of armed forces personnel around no idea why. We were planning an overnight but the wind started to make, so headed further East instead and decided to come to Isle de Groix. It's only 30km all the way round the edge, that said we only walked the eastern half, there are cliffs and long sandy beaches, we also came across a shack on the headland. We had planned a supermarket stop on way back but lunch time closure was from 12:30-15:00! Back at the harbour and a classic class yacht race was finishing and both harbours were filling up fast, because of the race we were fore and aft moored in the outer harbour and to make it more interesting there are regular large ro-ro side loading ferries coming in and out, we spent rest of the afternoon watching near misses and collisions. The waves are currently 1-2m so not sure about tomorrow (Sunday) as yet we might still be here the cats are not happy though as they like to have a pontoon to jump to but who knows as we are rafted they might go visiting other boats tonight instead.Read more
