Spring Shakedown

A two day passage on the Golfe du Morbihan in Brittany - a gentle start to the the new sailing season. Programme: The passage starts at Plougoumelen. After launching I sail down river to Le Bono, and then up the main Auray River to St Goustan for the night. I moor beside the old stone bridge and eat in the brasserie beside the quay. All this was against the tide, which is why you see me doing a lot of rowing, but it was very near high water, so the streams were fairly weak. The next morning I move from my mooring alongside the quay at St Goustan to the other side of the river, before the mooring dries out, to have breakfast on one of the mooring trots there. I then sail down river to Locmariaquer, arriving just before low water. Here I have lunch and a beer, before sailing back up the river with the flood tide to Plougoumelen. Comments: Listening back to this, I find I have gently anglicised the pronounciation of the place names for this video. This was unintentional - but there is some debate how Breton place names are pronounced in any case. They are generally pronounced in a French way, but this is actually incorrect. Whatever - an English person is always wrong! Here is more about St Goustan, as you saw so little in my video:    • À la découverte de Saint-Goustan, un quart...   The still photograph of Avel Dro sailing up the Auray River, by François Vivier.
