We left Morgat to sail across the bay to Douarnanez, a sleepy little harbour but very friendly. It was quite nice that the visiting yachts were on a separate pontoon to the berth holders. This was also the first time we had rafted up to someone, luckily that yacht was Thuro. Matt & Anna were still having problems with their auto helm and were having to hand steer all the time so the small hop across the bay had been agreed by all of us. It also meant we could top-up with fuel and water.
The weather hit us with it reaching 32degrees. We all struggled a bit as it came on so quickly, however by mid evening the wind had whipped up and done a 180degree turn and it was cold.
The following day was also only mild so we all decided to do a couple of boat jobs, shopping and washing. There is also a launderette, expensive at £6 per load but washing bed sheets is sometimes too difficult on the boat. The showers are mixed, not something I felt I could do - need to loose about 6 stone before any French men think they're showering with a frog!
Anna, Emma & I went for a walk to find Lidl. It only took about 20mins walking distance but we decided a taxi back to the boats would be better with all the shopping.
We spent the 2nd night at anchor due an event being held at the harbour and them needing the berth. The following morning we fuelled up and topped up with water and headed for Benodet in southern Brittany.
