Sat 25.8.12. Rade de Brest. Le Fret.
The gulls wheel around us. Skimming low over the water; riding the currents of 30 knots of westerly breeze.
That's too much wind for me to row the dinghy ashore. The gusts are capsizing it as it lies astern.
Plenty of time to conjure with passage options. It looks possible to carry the ebb out of Brest; arrive off the Chenal du Four, at low water Brest; and still have nine hours of fair tide to take us north and east.
Enough tide to carry us into the Rade de Morlaix. All we need is a SW 4.
Read "The Sisters Brothers" by Patrick de Witt. It has me chuckling; tucked behind the spray hood, out of the wind, drinking cappuccino.
