Lorient was a 35 mile journey from Benodet approx 7 hours. We left on the morning river ebb tide and after a swift turning manoeuver were leaving this lovely town vowing to return.
We got a call from Keith and Holly who then came out to their beach to wave us off. We flew a large pink towel to make sure they knew it was us.
The day started sunny and got hotter. We registered 78 degrees F in the cabin in the mid afternoon sun. It is the first day after 6 weeks of mixed weather where we can say this is what we came for. The beautiful blue skies lifted our spirits and another element to the journey revealed itself.
We will have to get used to hot weather, but I AM NOT MOANING. I REFUSE TO MOAN about the hot weather. (May live to regret those words). In true Brit style I had my big blue and white brolly up as the heat hit mid afternoon, to get some shade.
Mick devised a ‘Bimini’ (sun shade) but we will have to dig it out and definitely did not think we would need it so soon. I believe it is going to be sunny in the UK this weekend too. Yeah.
Lorient has many marinas and reminds me of Plymouth. We were going to Port Louis which looks like a walled city, but the marina guide turned us away as they were full and pointed us to Kernevel across the channel.
Kernevel is a large marina with good free facilities, and only 18 euros a night.
We had a short walk and ate out on deck again.
