Low wind at the anchorage but about 8 kt from W after we left an islets. Sea was calm with slight swell from East. It started cloudy but cleared up by 11:00. Due to the headwind we motored all the way to Morlaix bay.

Poulloc to Penn Al Lann, France
A force 3/4 for the afternoon was forecast. We had maximum wind of 9 knots but mostly 3-6 knots, except for berthing up and the wind blew to 12 knots !! A flat calm sea, and hot sunshine all the way except for a cloud bank over St Quai but that cleared.

Cloudy with no wind when we started but we picked up 8 kt from N after half an hour and sailed across Rade de Brest. In the channel out to the Atlantic the wind dropped and we motored out to the S entrance to Channel Le Four. We had timed our departure to arrive at channel Le Four as the tide turned N at ~15:30. At his point the wind suddenly picked up to 17 kt from the N (perhaps we were in wind shadow before?). We decided to take down the sail and motor to avoid tacking in le Four. At 18:40 we cleared Bass de Portsall and set sail again on a close reach to the entrance to L’Aber Wrac’h which we reached at around 19:50. We anchored in 7m at Toull an Trebez.
