We weighed anchor in Cawsand bay on the night of Tuesday 12 May, and heading out of the outer Plymouth harbour, past Eddiestone Rocks light house, on a bearing of 150 degrees. This would allow for tidal drift as we crossed. Our destination was Lezardrieux in the Trieux river in North Brittany. We chose this as our first visit to France because it promised 'all tide access' and good shelter from the winds.
After a gruelling 16 hours we dropped anchor in the Trieux river just North of the marina of Lezardrieux.
It was certainly peaceful and rather beautiful..
Here are some pictures:
OUR AIS SYSTEM HELPED DURING THE CROSSING

| Like a rabbit crossing a motorway... Ships everywhere. But our excellent AIS allowed us to see what their headings and speed was |

| Close but safe.! |
