Lighthouses and Cardinals

Lighthouses and cardinals.
The Raz de Sein with its great reputation can be benign, and if the wind hadn't been on the nose all the way through, it would have been so for us. The strong northerlies recently have meant that the south-going tides are much stronger than the north-going ones, so we had hardly any lift until we rounded Portsall, could sail the course, and had a blissful 3 hour reach into l'Aber Wrac'h. Marcita has sailed this coast three times now, so we're in the harbourmaster's computer, and are greeted warmly everywhere. L'Aber Wrac'h gets the Gold Wifi (pronounced weefee) award for being free and effective, unlike Orange France who should be prosecuted for fraud.
