We are really enchanted with the Morbihan and, after leaving Crouesty, spent another few days happily pottering around a few more anchorages and moorings. We spent one night at anchor off Ile D'Arz - bit of a mistake as the Rallye Passport Morbihan fleet (30+ boats) decided to use the same anchorage for their lunchtime stop. It got pretty hairy as they all started to drop anchor in 28kts of wind. Several yachts dragged their anchors and we came very close to having to fend one off Cabernet. However peace prevailed by mid-afternoon but, having seen the escapades of the other boats, we didn't feel happy to leave Cabernet unattended whilst we went ashore. After one rather sleepless night I'd had enough and we spent a couple - more peaceful - days at Arradon and Ile aux Moines. We walked the length of Moines - a good few hours - which made up for not getting off the boat earlier in the week.
By the saturday we were back in Crouesty to do some much needed washing, provisioning etc. We discovered that there was a regatta day on at Port Navalo so that provided us with a good opportunity for yet another strenuous walk. The weather was not great so we watched the Breton dancers and then headed back to Crouesty.
By this time our old friends from Glasgow, Chris and Lorna, had been in touch and were planning to be in our vicinity on their way back home in their motorhome. We were thrilled to find they managed to find a campsite within walking distance of Arradon and thoroughly enjoyed showing them the sights of Vannes the following day. Their visit was rounded off with a bbq on the beach at Arradon - by the time the tide had finished coming in we were left with a very small strip of beach on which to finish the eating and drinking of the evening!!
