                  @Giles That is an utterly beautiful view. I'd be ok with the weather if I had a view like that.

                          We made it to Brest. It was a short (17nm) but challenging passage, 2.5 meter waves and a tricky channel through a (what seemed like at the time) very narrow channel with breaking water all around. I definitely needed a Cidre when we moored up. And I did not hit a large, beautiful and very expensive yacht, this time....

                            Well done captain…and a well deserved cider too.

                            The journey is the objective.

                              @motojobobo I suspect @Giles may have allowed himself a cider regardless

                                I don’t blame him @Tago-Mago . As soon as this thread picked up and started flaunting cider pics I’ve noticed my interest in sailing has shot through the roof.

                                The journey is the objective.
