Douarnenez - boats and their folks

Sailing gently out past Hardy at anchor - largest East Coast gaffer here.


With hindsight the "blog" format has not been particularly well suited to this trip. Unlike our Round Britain voyage we have not had many quiet hours on the water for contemplation and composition. It's been busy and sociable so we've been too preoccupied with enjoying it to write about it.
There's also the fact that for 6 days in a row, first at Brest and then here, the scenery and the programme hasn't changed much from day to day. And while we're in apology mode I have to admit my best photos are on the camera and won't be published till we get home.

So it's phone pictures and captions again now, which would work perfectly well on Facebook but as you're here now ...

Historic replicas...

Tall ships....

Famous ships...

..and little Victoria sharing a buoy with East Breeze

Marion, skipper of East Breeze...


...who can fit 6 in her cockpit...

...and who cooks a mean fish stew.

Selfie to prove I was there too
