Erquy ......... Pronounced Er-ky

Off down the coast again in light winds heading for Erquy just 14miles away.  Passing the Fort la Latte before heading round Cap de Frehal.


Arriving in bright sunshine a no wind we anchored up outside the harbour breakwater to have some lunch and assess the situation.  Erquy dries completely at low tide and we didn't particularly want to do that on a sloping beach. So we decided to stay where we were, the boat protected from the wind by the headland, the only annoyance was the constant traffic in and out of the harbour.

This turned out to be a mistake as the wind changed during the night and  made it quite uncomfortable.  By five in the morning, it was quite a chop and  pushing us toward the harbour breakwater   At 6 am I had had enough, I wasn't confident that the anchor would hold so we set off into a stiff breeze toward St Quay






Nice relaxing holiday!
