Brindabella

Benodet and Saint Marine were lovely as usual. It was hot and sunny. We used the time to restock the boat and get the washing done. We had taken a buoy in the river so could get to both towns on either side.

It was particularly busy in the marinas due to a Pogo celebration and we later worked out that Thursday was a public holiday.

Saint Marine had a good photographic display of fisherman who operated sail boats from the 1900's which was interesting.

Friday night was a lovely still clear night.

We set off after filling with water originally bound for Ile de Groix. We were making good progress so altered the plans for Belle Ile.

This plan was changed yet again once we saw a forecast of NE 4 to 6. You are on a buoy in the bay at Belle Ile and would be exposed to the wind from this direction. We therefore decided to head for the Golfe de Morbihan which would be sheltered. We chose a new anchorage to us just off the lee shore of the Iles aux Moines.

There had been a week-long regatta on the island and were treated to the closing fireworks that evening.

We had heavy rain on Sunday so remained on board for the morning and went for a walk into the town in the afternoon. That evening while having dinner there was a huge thunderstorm over the Golfe de Morbihan.
