7 July 2010 - Houat



Just a light land breeze as forecast (that's E-NE which is onshore at our side of the island) - so all that stuff we have been reading about the "vent solaire" causing chaos in a good anchorage seems a bit exaggerated. Thought we might wait for the normal sea breeze and then pop over to Hoedic for lunch and then back here. Breeze did not come, leaving light wind all day, so decided to stay rather than motor there and back. Explored a bit more of the island and swam.

Maybe tomorrow we will visit Hoedic and then head back to Sauzon (Belle Ile). After that it would be good to visit the Etel river, which has a fast tide at the entrance and the pilot gives instructions by radio.
