After a good time in Roscoff
we decided to continue on towards Brest .
The first port would either be Aber Wrach or Aber Benoit a couple of miles
further on.
We chose Aber Benoit as it
appeared to be less commercial and our older pilot said that it would be easy
to anchor there.
Well the river is totally
full of moorings with no space to anchor anywhere. It was a shock to see how
these places are now full of moorings with mostly small motor boats on them.
We didn't have a clue where
to go and hailed a local man in a motor boat asking where to go. He very kindly
telephoned someone for us and then had us follow him up river to where there
were larger sail boats on moorings and indicated for us to pick up one close to
these yachts.
We were very grateful to him
and then spent a couple of pleasant nights there. We did look for where to pay
for the mooring but couldn't find anything and no one came to collect from us
so guess that they don't charge apart from the high season in July and August.
We saw the helpful man as we
left and thanked him again.
Then it was on towards the
Rade De Brest anchoring overnight outside the town of Plougonvelin before entering the Rade.
