The Raz de Sein was a pussy cat compared with the Chenal du Fort! 6 knots of tide with us, 17 knots of wind and still the waves were stopping us dead!! Photos just do not do reality justice!

Jean Golding took a line ashore as we moored in L'Aber Wrach and the next thing we knew we were invited on board 'Classic Dream' for tea. This was shortly followed by drinks on board when Nikki and Peter from 'Seahey' were also invited!
Safe passage across the Channel - only 2 hours of engine and 125 nm covered. This little bird joined us for a while in the middle of the Channel .... lost? resting? Who knows, but he wasn't hungry ... the crumbs Claire left on the foredeck were ignored completely!
