Sunday dawned a glorious day - fairly rare even in these parts - a cloudless blue sky and light breeze so we headed into the gulf shortly after 9am. We were nearly at high tide so expected an easy entrance - we got up to 10.5kts so i'm glad we didnt make the passage any earlier. We quickly found ourselves at Point D'Arradon where we picked up a mooring for a couple of nights.
Before we left there had been a fantastic firework display on saturday night in celebration of Bastille Day - many places had had to postpone their usual displays due to the strong winds on the 14th.
Its been a beautiful couple of days. Yesterday we took the dinghy to a little beach on an isolated island and today we walked into the town of Arradon - clearly a very wealthy area, the houses are just fantastic.
We're going to stay in the gulf for the next few days before heading back out to the islands en route to the Villaine to greet Andrew and Annie on 4th August.
