We arrived at the marina shortly and managed to find a space on the inside of the wave break. As we were expecting bad weather later, we were very pleased. Had our usual domestic as I never get off how Phil wants me to. I keep telling him I get off when I can and how I can). No one came to help but as weather got worse the port boat arrived and started helping people.
We had to open all the hatches. Phil disconnected the hot battery. I opened a neutradol(fresh air pot) and thanked our lucky stars. Although L'Aber Wrac'h is a very important staging post for yachts waiting to go down the Channel de Four there is no chandlers so we will replace batteries when we can.
Apparently I missed a bit of excitement whilst in the showers as a sailing school boat came in and nearly took our front off but Phil was there to fend.
I cooked a curry which got rid of the final yucky smell of boiling battery and we had drinks with Nick and Rona before an early night.
The expected wind arrived about 0.400 hrs with a bang. Rain and a lot of noise. then I heard a boat come in. It was just light and there was a lot of shouting as they tried to turn on to the outside of the wave break, across the tide.( The inside was full). They must have had a hell of a sail and when they arrived there were no cleats on that side so more shouting trying to hold the boat and looking for cleats.Don't you just love sailing? (well moving from place to place in a boat)
