Monday morning we met Pete and Sandra off the Brittany Ferry, after a quick cup of coffee we left St Malo through the lock and headed for Dahouet. Due to Rowena's speed - slow- and the tides we had to anchor off in a bay for 6 hours to wait for enough tide to get into Dahouet. We had our lunch and all sat up top in lovely sunshine, checking the GPS every 5 seconds to ensure we did not drift! At 8pm we upped anchor and set off, all with very red faces from the sun! We could not get into Dahouet until 9.30pm so just pootled along until we reached the harbour, over the sill and into our very tight berth, with Sandra doing a sterling job as a human fender, saving us from the boat in the next berth! We had our meal at night at 11.30pm and then bed by which time Pete and Sandra thought they had been on holiday for about a week.

The next day we walked over the headland to Val Andre a lovely sea side resort, we had a picnic of french baguettes and wine over looking the little boats and watching the tide go out. We got back to Dahouet just in time for low tide and we were amazed to see all the rocks and the way we had come in.

Today we left Dahouet as soon as the tide over the sill was high enough for Rowena's draft and headed to Binic, again in lovely sunshine. We have to leave here tomorrow as it is now neap tides and the lock will not open again until Tuesday, and we have many more ports to call in.
