Loctudy



7.6. Concarneau. Yesterday was very warm and sunny and we did the usual tourist things like taking the city sightseeing train. Today was quite nice with a few showers but nothing like the day before.
8.6. The morning was rainy with thunderstorms. We waited until noon to get a nice tide to sail to Loctudy. A British couple told us that the marina was closed because of dredging. I called the marina and they said that visitors are welcome so off we went. We had a decent sailing wind for only 20 minutes but luckily the total distance was only 12 miles. The rain had almost stopped and we only got a couple little showers. At Loctudy we found out that the visiting pontoon was out of service due to dredging. A guy from the office came to the pontoon and promised us a place for one night by one of the other pontoons which are reserved for local boats with permanent places. As it turned out the dredging had been delayed for two months because the local fishermen objected it as the silt the dredgers dump in the sea causes them trouble. Well, anyway, we have a place for tonight and tomorrow we sail to Audierne and after that start one of the last longer stretches (?) toward Roscof or straight to Guernsey. Tomorrow night we anchor so no more updates for a few days.
