Stuck in Camaret longer than expected. Thursday suffered 41 Knot winds in the harbour so goodness knows what it was like at sea. Two Irish chaps arrived from La Coruna and Rona and Nick helped them in on their pontoon. They got the forecast wrong and were out in it. Rona said they looked shell shocked. A boat got pinned to the fuel pontoon and ended up covered in yellow paint and stayed there for two days. We did not feel cowardly for not leaving.!! We could have left Saturday but we decided to leave Sunday and go to St. Evette in the Bay de Audierne. We shopped on Saturday at super U. It turned out to be La Fete de Bonne Maman. I was given a rose and it was a white rose of York. I was very thrilled. I am not sure my boys would subscribe to the Bonne Maman but the thought was nice.
Phil glad to leave Camaret and although the sea food was excellent he was bored. One day of rain is all it takes!!!! Showers and loos not good because open to public. We will only overnight there in future if weather right to carry on next day.
Raz de Sein was OK. Timed perfectly by the skipper. But I refused to let him have a Wazz in the Raz as I thought it was a dereliction of duty to go below. Told him to hang on till I felt safe and we were through.The Vierge lighthouse immense. We took it at low water slack and it was a pussy cat. No wind. ( 8 and 9 gusting 12) I would hate to be caught there in a blow.
A noisy night in St. Evette on a buoy. It was flat calm so I hate to think what it is like when rough. I am getting good at picking up buoys ( even if I say so myself) but no doubt I will get bad again. A shout of no pressure from Mr Jordan who had dropped anchor, was ignored.
