Left Paimpol towards the end of the free-flow period, with a number of other boats, to find a few boats hurrying towards the harbour before the gates closed. Decided to visit the dolphin again, so headed up Chenal de Denou (less stressful from this end near high water) to Cain ar Monse. He was not at home, so we headed for Jersey.

| Concentrating on trimming the cruising chute |
Made good time with the cruising chute up, just holding it at the deepest possible wind angle. Nearing Jersey we decided to take it down before the wind became too strong, whereupon the wind dropped a bit.

| St Aubin's Fort shelters a corner of the beach |
As we approached the harbour a number of fast motor boats came past. When almost at the last buoy before the harbour we heard on the radio that the waiting pontoon was congested by the arrival of the motor boats which were on the RYA motor boat cruise and had arrived a day late due to bad weather. We decided to wait in St Aubin's bay, so went in and anchored, After a while we moved in behind St Aubin's Fort, which is a bit more sheltered, but not great. Expect to dry out about 01:30 am.
Tomorrow we hope to go to Dielette.
