Stargazer sets sail in search of a cooling breeze. As the shelter, in Vannes, proves too complete to be comfortable, in the Saharan heatwave conditions.
Desert islands slip by. Robinson Crusoe picnickers seeking out the shade of their tall Scots Pines.
Swimmers gleefully plunge from slipways.
Whilst moored boats wait for their summer-season-owners. Before high walls, surrounding the manicured grounds of grand houses.
All hands turn out on deck to sweat up the heavy gaff of a pilot cutter.
Today's neap tide treats Stargazer more gently, in the narrows, than did the boisterous spring of our entry.
Stargazer gurgles out of the Golfe du Morbihan. Making a sedate (for these waters) seven knots. We secure shortly after, in Crouesty, to consider our next move.
