Still have high pressure and the sea breeze / land breeze cycle. Departed after breakfast to use the rest of the land breeze to get to Hoedic, just a few miles away. Not much breeze, so a slow trip. Anchored at the E of Hoedic, swam, explored island, lunch and eventually came back to Houat using the sea breeze, but there was not much of that either. We would have preferred to go back to Sauzon but there was not enough wind to get us there in time to get into the inner harbour. Hoedic is even smaller and quieter than Houat.
Maybe tomorrow we will leave early and go all the way to Etel. Problem is that the keel refuses to lift more than an inch or two so will have to send the diver down first. This happened a few days ago and cured itself quickly. I wonder if it is a result of running into the big jellyfish - when they hit the rudder it gives a big rattle but none has yet tripped the emergency release for the rudder blade.
