France here we come

Dilemma,   Tide pushing west until 1400,  wind in SW all day.  We have an open passage plan namely to get round the Plateau de Minquets and end up as far west as we can on the French coast.

Again the sea was choppy and rough. I decided to go west around the minquets,  Mistake!  took far too long as constantly tacking to get along the North edge. The tide changed and we were being pushed back into them in a dying wind. To cut a long story short we ended up in St Malo, not the finest of places and the facilities are in dire need of an update.


Had a meal in a local creperie, Very nice but a rip off.
