    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....

      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….

      Why Fret when you can see Brest?

          We have arrived in Roscoff after a fairly hairy passage and challenging berthing....A Cidre has been opened.....

                  @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

                    @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.

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

                          @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

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

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