17 TO 19 JULY SOUTH COAST LOCTUDY AND BENODET
Our first port of call on the S coast was a lovely little fishing port called Loctudy. Fish shops are on the quay and the fish is the freshest you'll ever find. Wonderful lobster and crevettes.
Last step in this weeks journey was the shortest - only 5 miles to Benodet - again in the rain! But Benodet (actually we're in Sainte Marine directly across the river Odet from benodet) is a lovely place. Must be a favourite for Sweden Yachts as we met another 3 SY owners here. Proposed we should have a SY regatta here next year! We'll leave ALMA here for 10 days as we go to Les Carroz in the French Alps to see the Tour which is going through the neighbouring village on Wednesday (I should explain that we're keen followers of the Tour and each days sailing is planned to get us into port by about 4pm so we can rush into the nearest bar with a tv and watch the end of that day's stage of the tour!).
So next update won't be for a couple of weeks. Hope your enjoying the summer.
Best wishes
Helen and Iain
