Day 8
Three on a SUP
July 19, 2021 in France ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Ronan and I have our first sea swim of the trip. After second brekkie, we move to the most popular anchorage; Le Chambre. The water is pretty shallow so we have to go in at high water and pick a spot deep enough that we don’t find them bottom at low water. We launch the paddle board and 3 of the 4 of us go in to the beach. Ronan comes back out to collect me as he says the beach is not to be missed. There is a thin strip of sand that joins two islands. At high tide it is covered over with water and it is a magical place to swim and play. The day is so hot it’s the perfect spot to be. Ruby and Colm have a great time playing with the translucent jellyfish- they are all shapes and sizes and don’t sting so what’s not to love.
Later when we return to the boat on the SUP we discover that the floor of our new dingy has burst and punctured in the heat.Read more

Day 8
Iles de Glenan
July 19, 2021 in France ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
We spend two more hot days in the Glenans. We do an unsuccessful repair to the dingy floor and so have to motor slowly from the boat to the islands with our soggy bottom. This setback doesn’t stop us from exploring and we go on a tour of the islands… then we run out of fuel. We laugh as we row back to the boat and when the laughter runs out we just row.
We wake up with a renewed spirit of adventure the next day and head off to one of the further most islands. We have had our eye on it the whole time we have been here. The island is one long white sandy beach with a tiny grassy and rocky at one side. The only way to this desert island is with a small boat and this island is surrounded by boats and full people. We are the palest people on the beach and the only ones without a parasol or beach tent for shade. We have a little black rain umbrella that does the job nicely.Read more
