Our luck with the wind evaporated for the short coastal trip down river from Treguier and east to the Ile de Brehat but it was fun nonetheless. Interesting navigation between the rocks and a fast-flowing favourable tide (up to three knots at one stage) kept us busy.

After a very peaceful night at anchor, we took the rising tide to head south through a narrow channel which dries out at low water to head a couple of miles south to Paimpol.

This would be our third visit to Paimpol and it's a place we really enjoy. The harbour guys and girls are really friendly and there's plenty to do in town. It was a lot quieter, boat wise, than we've experienced here before and, with the arrival of the late-June heatwave, we needed to deploy our sunshades, last used in the Pacific!
More to follow.
