Necessary tasks and others...


Once we arrived at Douarnenez we could arrange travel home for Saturday, and sort out where Robinetta and Worm would stay without us on board. Once we had the flights booked and the bus times sorted out we needed to talk to the port authorities about the boats. We walked to Port Rhu in Douarnenenz, but could find no trace of a marina office. We asked at the boat museum, and they sent us back to the Port de Pleasance at Treboul, where we were already moored.

Turns out Treboul controls the pontoons inside Port Rhu as well as the ones in the Port de Pleasnance, and we were soon sorted. We had a berth on the classic boat pontoon from Friday on. That left us two days to explore Douarnenez Bay.

The rest of the day saw me doing laundry and putting a coat of Deks no.1 on various bits of the boat that needed it. The evening was spent in a very different fashion.

Last night, after Julian and I got back to Robinetta after a very good pizza at “Le Vintage” pizzeria in Douarnenez, we entertained a couple of Australians to a cup of tea. They invited us for dinner in exchange, and we had a lovely time swapping stories with them and theiir friends at their hired house, and we then all walked to Robinetta for a whisky. It was a bit of a squeeze with eight of us, but good fun!
