Falmouth to Camaret-sur-Mer

Finally we could say good bye to Falmouth Marina. 

We depated Falmouth at 2100 on Sunday 1. september for the 122nm down to Camaret-sur-Mer just outside Brest.

The trip started with a fine sunset and a clear stary night. After clearing the coast the wind increased and the waves got higher and we had a lumpy crossing well into the following morning.

Our track from Falmouth to Camaret-sur-Mer.

Early afternoon the wind eased off and so did the waves and we had to rely on our Volvo Penta to take is the last 50 odd nm to Camaret.
Our voyage went into the Chanel-du-Four on the inside of Ouessant Island.
The first 2 hours we negotiated a current slowing us down to less than 2 knots. About a half hour after Brest HW the current changed and we picked up speed to 8+ knots.

We arrived the marina at Camaret in pitch darkens at midnight 2. september, where we moored on the outside of the pontoon breakwater and went fast asleep.
The next day when daylight revealed the spaces at the marina we hauled over to a mooring on the inside of the breakwater. The marina is not impressive, but has what one needs.
We will probably stay here for a few days and leave for Spain when the weather is right.
