L'ABER BENOIT TO CAMARET SUR MER, 22 MAY

The day was calm, wind was minimal, and it turned out to be one of the nicest sailing days we have had. First leg from the L'aber Benoit river to the Four lighthouse was motor sailing, then from the lighthouse to the Goulet De Brest was gentle sailing with the tidal stream.
At Camaret we entered the Port De Vauban and stayed there three nights.
We had our first two experiences of the well known French "Rafting". The first event we managed to chase away but the second was a Swiss crew on a rented yacht who rafted late in the evening. We were friendly and helped them with water hoses and the pass codes for the showers and lavatories etc.
Camaret was quite a nice small town situated around a bay. Plenty of restaurants and some grocery shops proved useful. Strange to see the wooden trawlers pulled up on the beach and abandoned.
