Monday 17 June
It was decided to rejoin the land of the living this morning, and we made our way gently the mile downstream to tie up on the outside of the visitors’ pontoon at this iconic Breton port, at the Northwestern tip of France. Already there was our sister ship, Wireless, so we enjoyed the opportunity of some social time with her crew, and admired her newness. Our friends from Trébeurden, on Nicknack, came in as well, and her skipper came over for a brief chat about plans once they were comfortably berthed inside.
Mate applied herself to a mountain of laundry, and was happily distracted by a conversation with a Japanese skipper, who has sailed his elegant large yacht, in stages over the last few years, across the Pacific, through the Panama canal, across the Atlantic and is now enjoying Europe and heading for the Mediterranean this Summer. He told her he needs to “get on with it” as he is already 75…
Skipper took his bike on a provisioning trip under the guidance of Wireless’s crew, around 6 miles uphill on the way there, downhill fully loaded back home. We enjoyed a lovely example of the sunsets for which this spot is famous.
