Walked to Portrieux yesterday over the cliff. Passed the sea water pool where two (wet suit clad ) people and one dog were swimming. The Semaphore is a military installation with lots of keep out signs and perhaps one should not take photographs?
Quiet day today. Went to market. Here every Monday not as big as in season but butchers excellent. Few shops here other than great Coop Marine selling lots of delicious clothes (take note Ewen and avoid) and fishing gear. Phil bought some (fishing gear , not clothes).
Very overcast and coldish this morning. Nice afternoon and sunbathing taking place on beach out of wind. Phil noticed they were all women and I would have fitted in with the general age group.
However the wind started howling about 16.00. At 18.00 and part way through an early dinner a boat came in and caused a bit of a kerfuffle by missing us just with his anchor. Phil and several men ran to help. They had lost lines over board. Crew off, skipper still on boat careening about. Rib from Capitainerie arrived and towed him around picked up his lines. He waved and thanked everybody for their assistance and I put my fender away. A Dutch boat arrived to repeat the process but rib waiting for him this time.
