Stargazer must leave town. If not on the next train, then on the morning tide.
Which can, all to easily, degenerate into something akin to a tidally assisted ‘demolition derby.’ Once the white knights of 'Le Zodiac' (that, confusingly, is not a Zodiac at all) have gone home.
The owner of the finger berth, which Stargazer has been borrowing, is hurrying home early.
This news causes Stargazer's skipper some consternation. For, on a Saturday night in summer, both the local boats (of working folk) and we, in the cruising contingent, compete for places in port.
Particularly on the popular Vendeean sunshine coast. Stargazer, therefore, generally opts to stay put mid-weekend.
To meet the current situation, Stargazer’s Ad Lib strategy will be to beat a retreat to Breizh (Brittany). Targeting the harbours from which the Vendee visitors have originated.
