Loctudy

Loctudy

It is colder now. Colder at night and yesterday while at sea in the early
morning I thought about gloves, Tina had a blanket at last night! Anyway we
are at Loctudy now, next door to Le Pont de Abbey and the sun is shining.



We had a long sail up from Port Haliguen, we started at 5am as we knew that
we had some 60 miles to go [10 to 12 hours and could be longer!]; the wind
started off by being favourable but very weak and then backed to head us
again. By 4pm we were in and relieved to be so not that the journey was in
any was arduous.



The next stop is St Evette which is just before the Raz du Seine. This is a
narrow gap in a 20 mile line of rocks through which all the water from the
Channel races through to get to the bay of Biscay; when there it then rushes
back again. The 'gap' which is a misshaped channel less than 2 miles wide
and it is a place 'to get it right' and when you do it is no problem.
