23 hours to come from Les Sables d'Olonne to Sauzon on Belle-Ile. A good sailing by a moonless night. Arriving in Sauzon, all the buoys on the external labour were occupied. Therefore, we had to wait for a couple of hours before entering the back harbour where one can beach as the tide goes and comes back. But the places are rather scarce at this time of the season, and as the level of waters allows, all boats are racing in the ria of Sauzon to find a berth. You can see on the screen capture of my iPad map the gymkhana that I had to do with Belisama to find a spot. This was my first manoeuvre with Belisama in a harbour! Quite a challenge, but a success!

Below is the spot that we finally got. Note that Belisama is twice as big as her neighbours!
I had not gone to Sauzon in more than 10 years. Still the same charming atmosphere!
I regret not having the time to further explore the coast of Belle-Ile. See below the Pointe des Poulains. Even at the peak of the season, there seems to be spots with room with a view!
