Avoiding the crowds!?

12Aug14: Loctudy to Sauzon at Belle Île

July and August is very expensive in this area but Loctudy offered an excellent rate for a weeks's stay – all we had to do was squeeze our way out from the tiny gap between opposing finger pontoons! Fortunately, the lack of early morning wind was following form and we slipped out without incident. On a different and slightly more bizarre and diverse subject a line can be drawn here in our progress South marking the start of mixed ablutions!?

Wind strength gradually built giving us a lively sail to the island. Upon arrival, anchoring was not an option and the alternative choice of a mooring buoy in the height of the season, a challenge. We were lead by the HM between masses of charter boats and locals threading a narrow, weaving line until we picked up for and aft mooring buoys already occupied by six other boats – sometimes idyllic island spots can be a bit too popular!
