17 June 2010 - Paimpol to Trebeurden



Forecast is at last reasonable - NE 4-5 becoming N and a bit less. We pay up and go at last. If you have to get stuck somewhere then choose Paimpol. However after a while it's nice to move on. Put sail up shortly after leaving the harbour - 1 reef in main + full genoa. Sailed down the bay, then motored the first part of the Chenal de Denou. Once past the narrow bit started sailing again and went to Carn Ar Monse to look for the dolphin. He was there and put on a good display including one jump right out of the water.

Continued round the N of Brehat, outside Heaux and could then bear away a bit. Lots of tide with us so went a good speed. Sea peu agitee I think. Arrived at Trebeurden and picked up one of the waiting buoys. The place is said to be expensive and it's quite calm so we will stay here overnight. Explored the island and found a well preserved Dolmen (chambered Cairn).
