Abbi's visit was drawing to an end - far too soon ! Now how to get back to the airport ?
our final sailing day before we return to the UK at the end of the week - and it was a perfect day
We decided to leave Port Haliguen to allow ourselves time to sail the length of the Bay Of Quiberon and to be at the entrance of the Vilaine for the tide and to catch the 14.00 lock opening. The weather was kind and we had an excellent 4 hours close reaching with full sail across the bay at between 5.00 and 7.50 knots. We could not have asked for more perfect conditions. It was also a very pleasnt 26'C We arrived at the lock to enjoy the usual French scrum to get in but once again it all seemed to work out fine and we emerged to the tranquil waters of the Vilaine. We decided to motor a mile or two up river and to anchor in a particularly nice spot we'd identified on our way through before, and found ourselves in the Beneteau owners club - 1 on either side (but well-spaced!) Anchor down and first swim on the day . The river is as interesting colour, well, river water but the temperature is really ideal. Not too cold but still very refreshing. We have had 2 swims this ...
