2015 July - Dover to Eastbourne
Our very good friend Mark Ferguson joined us for the trip down from Dover to Eastbourne. Winds lighter than predicted but a very enjoyable sail with an old friend - perfect ! The locks at Eastbourne can get busy.
Our first overnight at the top of the River Auray at Le Bono
We moored on a convenient buoy and took the dinghy up to the centre of Le Bono. It's a really pretty spot and well worth the visit. One of it's claims to fame is that it is the final resting place of the legendary French sailor Bernard Moitessier (who sailed in his boat Joshua in the original Golden Globe alongside Robin Know Johnston in 1969. For French people their sailing heroes are like rock stars - rather unlike the UK !
