After a quiet night the morning mist cleared with the sun and we were off out of the Rade de Brest heading northwest and then north through the Chanal de Four.
With a pleasant breeze and an unexpected counter current we reached the channel between the mainland and Ushant an hour early and sat going nowhere (well 0.7 knots) until the tide turned.
Unfortunately the wind dropped off at the same time and we ended up having to motor along with about 20 other yachts all going the same way.
Full sun and no breeze - it got very hot! It was an easy passage despite the rocks all around.
The two free mooring buoys at L"Aber Wrac"h were a welcome sight after a long day in the hot sun.
