Arrived in Saint Evette, a pretty bay with mooring buoys which are all very close together. This meant we swung within one metre of some of our neighbours. However did not hit anybody and had a peaceful night bobbing around. Next morning used the dinghy to go ashore and enjoyed a walk along the coast in the sun.

Due to skipper error in passage planning we had to leave in a hurry to reach Raz de Sein at slack tide. This is a notorious area if rough water only to be sailed at slack water. We managed to arrive exactly at slack water for an easy passage. Coming the other way was Sam Davis on her boat for the Vendee Globe, must be the day for great lady sailors!

Today started with a knocking on the side of Javelin. I thought we had already paid but went to investigate. It was Pauline Errey on her delivery trip from Carnavon to Portugal. She was dashing off to the showers before heading off across the Bay of Biscay. This is on a 32 foot boat, definitely one brave lady! The boats are the remains of most of Camaret's fishing fleet. Everywhere we go in France and Britain has fishing ports who are having hard times.

The morning started with reattaching the autopilot bolts which had worked loose and left only one still attached. The picture shows a Viking long boat moored near to us. Set off at 10:15 for Camaret from L'Aberwach. This passage took us to the edge of the Bay of Biscay at Ushant and then through the Chanel du Four south to Camaret. It rained as usual but we did not get too wet.
