Another post of 2 days in one here. Not much to
comment on for Wednesday, ended up a bit like Tuesday with a chance
to practice some golf down at the local range, pack up the house and
get the washing dry. The plan was originally to check out the
Morlaix coast for some clean surf but looking at the photos on the
surf report it was about ankle to waist high at best, so not really
worth the 5h round trip. Was an earlyish bed with one objective-
surf.
Fortunately I avoided the tempatation to sleep
through the alarm. With the car already packed I headed off to
Quiberon about 20 mins later than I intended to leave. When I
arrived there was surf, a little smaller than I expected around chest
high with a stiff cross/offshore wind. The tide was high and time
was limited so I didn't check the Cote Sauvage. Instead I went
straight to the Southern end of Tata beach where I learned to surf-
fortunately the car park is close to the road so it was a quick check
before going in.
There were a few peaks. My first reaction was to
how cold the water was compared with SW France. I thought the paddle
out was going to be brutal but it was not too bad. Waves were quite
slow and mellow- a change from the the sand smashers in SW France.
Got a few rides and sections for an hour before heading to Le Harve.
Grabbed a croissant and quiche at Plourharnel. Stopped in Caen for
pullups, fuel and Carrefour stock up for the boat.
Got the boat and splashed 16£ in a day cabin so I
can have a shower and a nap. And so ends the trip. I will endeavour
to do a reflections post soon about the whole trip. A couple of days
in Brittany have probably served as a good general reintroduction to
UK life.
Massivley looking forward to Portugal of course.
