Ad Lib 57

 

. . . . .One day later (see Ad Lib 56). . . . .this is Plan B. In line with Saturday's revised forecast.

Which has the wind backing from north to west during the late afternoon and early evening. Then remaining in the west or southwest for the foreseeable future.

If Stargazer can turn the corner, between L'Aber Wrac'h (A) and the Le Four light (F), in synch with the breeze swinging, her wind will stay fair. The tide too, for a reasonable portion of the passage. Most importantly, in the fastest flowing sections: from Ile de Batz to L’Aber Wrac’h and in the Chenal du Four itself. (Green arrows show fair tide. Red show foul.)

Stargazer will be off the Ile de Batz (I) to catch the turn of the west going tide. With the option to divert into L'Aber Wrac'h, should circumstances change once more. Albeit at the risk of being parked up for some while. Hoping, instead, to make Camaret (C) by nightfall.
