Port Herbaudiere
090623 La Turballe to Port L’Herbaudiere.
Every now and then you have a days sailing that is just right and this was it.
On leaving La Turballe we set sail and set the Autohelm to standby and that is where it stayed for the next 6 hours. Top speed on the day went to John Muckian with 8.3 knots not assisted by tide or wave surfing etc.
The approach to Port L’Herbaudiere is interesting to say the least of it. This was also the first place that we had seen locals fishing of quay walls.
Again the customary birthing beers and organisation of meals. A high level of laid back creeping into the crew.
A decision was made that we should head for Pronichet the following day and that we should have a non sailing day before heading back home.
