We need to top up the water tanks, but this wasn’t what I had in mind.
After a wet and windy night, and a slow start to the day, we say goodbye to Trequier and make the 20 mile jaunt to Lazardrieux. We sailed as far as we could, but the wind was coming straight down the Trieux river as we headed up toward Lezardrieux and so we motored for the last hour. The harbourmaster met us as we arrived and led us to our berth, then caught our lines. Lezardrieux is notoriously difficult to berth at, because of the flow of the river through the pontoons. and the brisk cross wind didn’t help either.
There is the most fantastic artisan boulanger patissier in the town. Their range of pastries is delicious, well worth a visit, or two in our case.
We took a tourist-ferry up the river to Pontrieux, a bit expensive but well worth it. We found another Gemini moored up there. It seemed odd to find so many boats so far up the river, when the last 5 miles is only navigable for about 2 hours around High Water.
I think we have explored everything this place has to offer and we’re off to Paimpol tomorrow.
