Arrival in Finistere ( French for the end of the world)

St. Mattieu on the point at the end of the Chanel Du Four

Grand Vinotiere the last sentinel out of the Chanel Du Four

The Vauban Tower at the end of the marina in Camaret

The church of Rocamadour
Built for the Irish pilgrims who arrived here on the way to Rocamadour in the Lot . The chancel is shaped like the inside of a boat.

The famous wooden boat graveyard at Camaret.
Camaret is on the Crozon peninsular in Finistere. Nothing between here and USA and you can understand why it was given this name. We are now beyond Brest. And it is goodbye to our faithful companion Tom Cunnliffe and his Channel Pilot for which we are eternally grateful. We have tucked him away out of sight as he does not go round the corner unfortunately.
