It has been an energy-sapping week: The Tour du Finisterre a la Voile ("Tourduf") fleet sailed, from Roscoff, on Monday.
Racing south via stop-overs in L'Aber Wrac'h, Camaret and Douarnenez. With a final, overnight, leg through the Raz de Seine and into Port La Foret, on Friday.
This morning has been filled with round-the-cans racing, in Benodet Bay. Now, the sponsors and dignitaries take to the stage, to award prizes.
Refreshments are served.
Before the victorious teams step onto the podium. Broad smiles upon their weather beaten faces.
To polite applause, and some private commentary, from their peers.
The assembled family crews (in the main), relax into summer holiday mode. Their boat pleasurably 'delivered,' from the northern Channel ports, into the Atlantic cruising grounds of the south.
