Port Haliguen

Port Hooligan to some Brits

While at La Roche Bernard we looked up Therese's house [brother Marks ex
wife] and could not find it. We found the street and the number 16 which was
a shop.
I called in and asked if she lived there. The answer was yes but she is not
here and no idea as to when she will come back. Also her house is behind the
shop via an alley.
I said do tell her that we called.

So duty done we retired to the cafe to battle with the internet,
[successfully for once].

On leaving the cafe who should I meet but Therese who had arrived just a
couple of hours ago, found the capitainarie, the boat and then us.
We ended up having a super meal at Treguier and I must remember to go back
there.

We left at 6am the next day to go to Port H. We motored down the river and
then hovered by the lock gates waiting for them to open. As the opening time
drew neared more and more boats appeared and  as the gates opened we all
edged forward to be the first in the lock!!chaos french style. We all got in
and all was well.

Which ever way we were heading the wind was right on the nose so we motored
on to Port H and found an upwind slot.

We do have a problem in that in order to go into reverse the propellor hub
has to twist and it is not doing so for  resistance by barnacles and
possibly lack of grease. The current aim is to lie up against a wall at
Camaret and sort it out.
