Stargazer is glad to have pressed on through the fog (see Ad Lib 129) with a favourable west wind. For, true to forecast, the breeze has veered northerly. Where it is expected to remain for some while.
Which rules out striking north east for Guernsey. But is fair for the craggy ports of the Côte de Granit Rose, now directly to our east.
In Roscoff, the fishing fleet is alongside for the Assumption Day 'Jour Férié.' Although, in France unlike in England, no additional weekday respite is granted for a Bank Holiday falling on a weekend.
The names chosen, for several of the trawlers, are a reminder of the close historic links between the port and the UK.
Dating back to the 'Onion Johnnies.' Who boarded the Plymouth to Roscoff ferry, on their bicycles, to peddle their homegrown wares door to door, to British households.
