A heavily built gaff ketch runs in from seaward. Two handkerchiefs of canvas set. Plunging and corkscrewing in the swell. Had we decided to sail north this morning, Stargazer would have been beating into this, adding five knots or so to the wind speed and exacerbating the motion.
Inside the protective embrace of Point du Roc, all is calm. The crew of the ketch enjoy a sunny respite, before she makes port. The inbound ketch crosses the schooner Le Marite - taking a turn, in the shelter of the bay, to help fund her restoration.
