Two familiar sights greet my eyes, as I open Stargazer’s washboards, to welcome the new day. Those of The Albion House Tavern, with the Town Church peering over its, freshly scrubbed, lime washed, shoulder; and of Soizic.
With her distinctive white dove silhouetted on the bow. Companion of a gale bound fortnight, in Brest, at exactly this time last year. We have both decided to ensure that our returns, from a summer in Biscay, are a more leisurely affair this year. By starting for home (Soizic’s is Dunkerque) rather earlier.
We each hold the other responsible, for a morning downpour and the wind veering (unexpectedly) northerly overnight. A headwind for the Raz Blanchard. Deciding that Tuesday is likely to be the better day, for our onward passages. The breeze now forecast to remain northerly on Monday, before going west to northwest on Tuesday and dwindling, to light airs, by Wednesday.
