L'aber W'rach to Camaret - via Chenal du Four

Our next challenge was navigating the somewhat notorious Chenal du Four. Timing is key combined a well defined passage plan. We aimed to be at The Four Light at high water Brest and then to navigate down the Chenal with a very strong current pushing us along between the rocks . Once committed it would be difficult for a sailing boat (even motoring) to escape these tides. Passage through takes a little over two hours but the time (and indeed the scenery ) seemed to fly by. The low sea mist added to the drama but we eventually arrived in Camaret with very large grins having made our longest double handed passage the day before and today conquering the "Four" .
