What? Houat? 26-28 June 2022

From Vannes, we had a window of opportunity to moor for two days in Houat at 20 nautical miles, in Tréach Er Gourhed. Given the tides, we could only depart around 16:00 from Vannes, and reach Houat by 20:00. There were already around 40 ships mooring in this bay, but it was not a problem given our 1metre draft to find a place very close to the shore. Keep in mind that we are still in June, and the sailing season starts in mid-July, where you are likely to be in the hundred of sailing boat around here.

Despite winds from the West in the 8 to 10m m/s, from which we were protected, the night was a bit shaky because of a northern swell.

Yeu - Le Crouesty - Vannes, 23-25 June 2022

 The Golfe du Morbihan is intimidating at first. It is known for its strong currents, tides and tricks. But in fact, as I asked my neighbours in the Le Crouesty marina, you just need to let yourself flow by the current in order to avoid obstacles. 

The wind against the current can result in relatively rough seas et the entrance of the Gulf.
