On the Benodet shore, the low sun of late afternoon, darkens the blue of the water to a yet deeper hue. Sunbathers retreat from the beach, contemplating their evening meals.
Peak holiday season is here. The beach hotels and boat rentals are enjoying roaring trade. The Vedettes put off fully laden.
Whilst, nestled in its craggy cove, on the opposite bank, Sainte-Marine takes life at a slower pace.
Tall, deep green, scotch pines mask waterfront retreats. Casting a cooling shade. Maintaining privacy.
Boats mill about the moorings and pontoons. Seemingly impervious to the swift flowing tide.
For this is old school sailor's territory. With every last breath of wind put to use. Boat handling skills a matter of pride.
