LEZARDRIEUX TO ROSCOFF

We originally planned to sail to Port Blanc a mere 20 miles to the West of Lezardrieux, but when we were out of the entrance of Trieux river the wind was good and our speed was averaging 10 and 11 Knots, so we pressed on past Les Sept Iles and on to Roscoff.
It was good going with a following tide although dropping wind speed, and after 6 hours we were calling Roscoff Marina (Port de Plaisance) to ask for access. Eventually the marina manager arrived with his dinghy and showed us to a berth inside the massive marina walls. Well sheltered. Our Dock-and-Go system worked efficiently for once and we lined up nicely into berth number 17.

On the following day we set about doing our washing in the marina facilities, and then walked into town to have some lunch. Local specialities here are Crepes and Cider..
