13Aug14: Sauzon to Port Haliguen

Sauzon, a beautiful place but visit out of season. We had to escape at the earliest opportunity. The next morning we headed for the Quiberon peninsula through the Teignhouse passage. This passage is over a shallow reef, clearly buoyed but not to be attempted in wind-over-tide conditions. We timed our approach for slack water and then dealt with the F6 Westerly which which was taking us across. Exciting. Surfing down a short, steep 6m swell Arbalest took it in her stride unlike some boats designed more for day sailing.

Once again the port was extremely busy with boats queuing and circling before being directed to raft in every available space.
