We started in a westerly 17kt and set sail with 2 reefs in Lampaul bay before sailing SW to clear Ar Vridig and turning to 140 towards Pierres Vertes WCM. By then the wind was moderating so we let out one reef and continued to Pierres Noires WCM. 

The wind continued to drop so we started an engine to keep boat speed as there was a strong cross tide. Around 1700 the wind picked up from S and we sailed for about 45 mins before it again weakened and we restarted the motor. We took down the sails S of St Mathieu and motored the last hour in intermittent rain. 

We saw a flock of birds circling and diving about 500m S of us when we were 4 NMi 191 from Ile de Beniguet (see video https://share.icloud.com/photos/0a8clSWjOwfvoLrZATKDQhlug). Not sure what bird they were but there must have been a shoal of fish near the surface.
