We sail into the English Channel

16.07.2023

Trip to Roscoff - 33 nm in great weather, light wind but some sea.

The wind has died down and we can move on. It's lovely weather but there are quite a few waves when we sail, which means the two youngest are a bit out of shape! Navigating along the coast is also somewhat challenging, but I never cease to be impressed by how good the chartplotters have become.

Gradually we turn more inward into the English Channel, and get a great wind from behind. We turn off the engine and sail at 8-9 knots almost all the way.

In Port Bloscon we get a nice longside berth when we arrive. It is a very new and beautiful marina, with all the facilities. Even its own boat equipment shop!!

In the afternoon we take a walk into Roskoff town. Very cozy little town with lots to see and lots of people. Clearly this is a popular tourist town, with a funfair and other tourist traps. Olivia of course has to visit the funfair to see if she can win something!

It's the last night for Linh, so we have a delicious closing dinner - of course at the restaurant "Vue sur Mer."
