Back to "Les Sables", right in time! 15-16 May

Once in Port-Haliguen, a new gale warning, with gusts up to 20m/s (Beaufort 8), prevented us from departing the following morning for Sables d'Olonne. 

Forecasted wind gust for 15 May, 6:00. Scary!

We waited until late afternoon for decreasing winds and made it by 18:00 for a new night cruise with 10 to 14m/s winds...

Crossing the Iroise Sea in one shot, 13-14 May 2021

13 of May was "the window"! After consulting with my "master" Fañch (Cybèle 17), we decided to choose for a departure at 16:00 from Aber-Wrac'h, in order to arrive at the entrance of the "Four channel" by 20:00, at the reverse of tides, and take the rolling carpet at night through the "Four Channel" and the  "Raz-de-Sein", a 30 nautical miles through the "Iroise Sea", one of the most challenging sea in the world. 

Early morning in the Audierne bay. See the porpoise accompanying us?
