Now in St Malo, city of Corsairs, after a great sail from St-Q-P - but encounted our first fog with viz at times down to a few hundred metres. Thankfully we were well away from shipping lanes and very thankfully Alma has radar! However, it's still sobering when a fishing boat suddenly looms out of the mist.

A great walk around the old walls of the St Malo with lovely views of the Rance and the fortresses protecting the bay of St Malo which has been rebuilt after WW2 and still has an old feel even though approx 80% was rebuilt. (Jacques Cartier who discovered the St Lawrence River in 1534 while seeking a NW passage to China was born in St Malo)

We are in the Bassin Vauban (named after the architect of Louis XIV) on the edge of the old city - great location.

Now closing up the boat. Next few weeks in the UK - look forward to catching up with everyone there - then in early July, we're planning to sail from St. Malo to Brest and then on to southern Brittany in search of warmer weather!
Best wishes, Iain and Helen.
