6.1m is quite a lot. I think the most in Brittany is 14m somewhere. Do you fall dry in the habour, or does it have a constant level?

We cant dry out without damaging the boat. So we choose places that dont.

In case you make it to Le Fret, there is a nice bar at the habour. Check it out, the glass of Pastis is just 2€ and the mother with her son are great hosts.

We are going to Brest and Camaret, so Fret is a possibility….

Great pics. many thanks.

Sounds like the French and Spanish passport control of the late 80s 90s when you just had to hold up a newspaper to be waved through immigration

[Giles]

A few years ago, I had occasion to go to Dublin on business. The border guard at Dublin airport shouted to the assembled queue waiting for passport control "If you have a UK passport, don't bother queuing". I am 100% certain that not all those who peeled off had British passports....

Why Fret when you can see Brest?

I'll get your coat for you....

Should I leave this one alone?

[goosehd]

@Giles Already speaking French? Cider is anglais

[goosehd]

@Matt Go for it as we all need a laugh after a hairy passage and challenging berthing…

@goosehd I thought the thermometer in the butt was hilarious, but that's a couple of days old already. Surprised that @Matt didn't jump on that one

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago I think he’s purposely holding back and saving up for Gosport in September. A few beers and I’m afraid of what’s going to happen

Edit: As to @Giles, I wonder if he’ll show up to the party wearing a beret.

[goosehd]

…denim beret.

[Matt]

You sound like Katie. About the beers, not the butt thermometer

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd I figured it was too easy. And I don't think it'll take a few beers. I'd be surprised if it took one

[Giles]

Apparently whilst we were at lunch, SAKURA was boarded by 4 customs officials.

No locks forced, will see what happens......

[goosehd]

@Giles Any pillows missing?

[Giles]

I can only count to 18

[goosehd]

@Giles Technically 19…
