Channel Islands and Brittany

Outline plan is to explore the French coast ending up in St. Peterport, Guernsey.  Of course the prevailing winds are SW-W, but we will try and make it over to Lezardrieux then take shortish steps back before a longer step north to Guernsey.

Join BB St Helier marina, Jersey. Depending on wind and sea state, plan for week will be

Sunday – head for lezardrieux

Monday-Wednesday – a couple of:

St Quay-Portrieux as it is accessible at any tide;

Paimpol ( circa 15nm NW of St Quay)  Historically a cod fishing town it is now a picturesque Breton town with quite a few festivals, probably involving ancient rituals and foreign sailors…Seriously looks like a good place for a bit of tourism and of course a couple of glasses of wine, with food of course!

Ile de Brehat – anchorages – circa 7nm NE of Paimpol.  These islands are beautiful and have a few walks round the low headlands and beaches.   There are a couple of places we can anchor and take the rib ashore to the beach or just chill out on BB.

Thursday-Friday head off to St Peterport, Guernsey for flights/ferries back to the UK on Saturday
