2016 August ARC - the harbour has a 10m tidal range - wow !
As Solent sailors we know about tides but have never experienced the 30+ foot tidal ranges that the CI's experience. A management and pilotage challenge.
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 !
