Same weather again N-NE3 fine and sunny. Quick trip ashore to do some shopping then depart under sail which is a nice change but means no battery charging. We had earlier been told that Passage do Fromveur is "Like the Mississippi" ie a fast-flowing river of tide and seems to be not recommended, so we went round the W and N of the island as on the way in. Plenty of favourable tide, doing 10 knots over the ground for a while, and enough wind to go well. Some concentration needed to ensure that we were still heading in the right direction in spite of variable amounts and directions of tide. Motored into the moorings at Ile de Molene, which were all full but two boats left as we were thinking what to do next.
Took a walk round the island. It only takes an hour, but ours took longer as we stopped in a sheltered bay for a very short swim. Very small island but with quite a few houses, mostly linked with little lanes. There are no cars, just the occasional tractor and van. Water supply must be an issue here - all the houses have big tanks to store water from the roofs and there is even a big concrete area labelled Le Impluvium which I presume is for water collection and storage.
Maybe we will walk round the island again tomorrow and then go to Camaret via the Chenal de la Helle and Chenal du Four. This has to be an afternooon departure
