Making great progress.  Enjoying the updates!

Lovely day, light winds so motoring all the way, with a little assistance from the mainsail and fresh out of the box “Code Zero”.  Left rather later than we probably should, to catch the favourable tide through the renowned Chenal du Four inside the isle of Ouessant but ended up not being in the slightest bit scary even against the tide, as we reached the southern end of the Chanel.   
Struck out for the 20 miles across the Cote d’Iroise heading for the equally notorious Raz de Sein and decided to push on, based on how benign the CdF had been, eventually ploughing straight through against 3 kts of tide.  Felt not much different to an extended passage through the Hurst Narrows heading into the Solent from Poole Bay.  Had a few dolphin sightings; always raises the excitement levels, including a solitary and much larger bottlenose dolphin which played in our bow wave for a while, shortly before we were buzzed, at very low level, by the French Navy.  Plenty of spectacular lighthouses along the way.  Finally put into the small fishing port of Audierne for the night, rafted up alongside a French yacht and in amongst the local fishing fleet.
