After getting all the chores done in Crouesty - provisions and 2 weeks of washing - we set off for a short spell in Vannes. The forecast had been very mixed but in fact generally we had lovely warm and sunny weather - ideal for wandering around the town. The flower beds around the ramparts were looking beautiful, much more mature than when we had been earlier in the summer. We also celebrated 35 years of wedded bliss - there were plenty of good restaurants to choose from but we elected to try one from the Michelin Guide, Roscanvec. It was an excellent meal, we opted for the 'degustation' menu which meant it was up to the chef as to what he decided for you. There were 6 courses and the food was fantastic.
After spending 3 nights in Vannes we headed out to one of the islands - Ile D'Arz - which was much more peaceful than when we were last there in July. Its a beautiful area for walking and the weather gave us the opportunity to see much more of the island than we had done previously. Unfortunately the batteries on Cabernet gave out in the middle of Saturday night, she's a power hungry boat and I like to keep the fridge operating which causes a big drain. Still she started ok on just the one engine battery and we pottered around to Ile aux Moines, where we hooked up to shore power and were once again able to enjoy the civilised side of being on the water.
We will probably remain in the Morbihan until Wednesday, after which we'll start wending our way slowly back to the Vilaine.
