Roscoff inside Batz

Andy Riches

Decided to leave earlier than planned and fight some tide. Really no wind -5 knots from behind, and motored mainly, worrying about fuel. Showed just under a quarter of a tank. In theory plenty but gauge flicked between nil and an 1/8. Tried to sail a couple of times but not enough wind until just of Batz. Then on the nose! Was able to sail the last bit to entrance of Batz and then motored through shallows as only a couple of hours after LW. Through the shallows and approach to Roscoff. Radioed and met by Sonya on the Rib. Got 60L of fuel and Sonya escorted us to D 95 and helped us tie up.
