Our anticipated interlude, of light airs, arrives. The want of motive power brings a relaxed air, to Roscoff. Where the usual preoccupation is achieving tidal timings, in and out of the Chenal du Four and Raz de Sein. Which can lend a certain urgency, to proceedings.
Instead, nonchalant boat fettling is underway, aboard ship. Whilst, on the pontoons, mobile phones are fired up. For a chat with nomadic cruising friends.
Daryl and Shirley, aboard Dream Catcher, are moored on Guardia Costiera Quay, in Sardinia. For free. Admiring the view and counting their blessings. Pleased to have added solar panels, whilst overwintering, in Cartagena. For, to plug in, or stay longer than five nights, here in (high season) superyacht territory, costs one hundred and twenty euros per day.

Roger, aboard Catinou, whom we visited in Ramsgate, has arrived in Gosport. In time to be invited, as an honoured guest, to the Haslar berth holders party. With a summer in the Solent ahead of him.
In Roscoff, short sharp thundery showers cleanse the air. Lending the sunlight an ethereal quality. Whilst requiring walks into the village to be conducted with strategic forethought. As a sequence of short strolls, between available aerial shelter.
