Today we left St. Evette. Fog and drizzle all the way. Our first wet day at sea. But fortunately not that wet. Sometimes we could see. The rest of the time we depended on radar, AIS and Sea Me. Phil used old money ( a pair of dividers and a chart) to work out how far we could see before we left. (2000 yds). It was less foggy at sea. Sea was OK until just off Point PenMarc'h. The Eckmuhl lighthouse is huge. We stayed 3 miles off and although light winds and calm, without local knowledge I would not have wanted to be any closer. We arrived and tied up at St Marine about 15.15pm. Helped Nick and Rona in shortly after.
Then the sun came out and we have had a brilliant evening. Warm and sunny. How strange is weather.!! Exploring tomorrow.
