We were greeted with the incoming weekend traffic heading for Vannes for a good time as as we scooted through the swing bridge .It was time to explore the Morbihan and its islands and anchorages. We explored Arradon,  lle de Pirenn, Anse de Locmiquel and Anse de Kerners to mention but a few encapsulated in this  labyrinth. This  mazey waterway was very crowded  with yachts aplenty, vedettes, canoes and dinghies coming and going, running amok from all directions confusing the issue.

Windsurfers engaged in sport were flying at speed in winds gusting force 6 and we needed our wits about us.

We headed for our nights anchorage at Locmiquel but gave it up as a bad job.There was more rockin` n rollin` with the strong wind than Mick and Bianca on a good night. The place was more exposed than a prostitute on Baker Street so we headed for the haven of Port Blanc. It was still uncomfortable as we approached our buoy and we expected some difficult grappling but Mandy got it first time! Unfortunately the rubber grip on the boathook handle came loose leaving boathook and buoy adrift in a liason. We came about and collected the boathook and buoy with our spare boathook and secured for the night.

Port Blanc was calm within a short while and so we caught the launch to pay our dues and explore.Then it was back aboard for tea and time for bed, said Zebedee!
