| There was an incredible amount of ferries between Dover and Calais. On the background you can see the coast of England. We sailed very close to the French coast, but England was not very far. |
 |
| When we left Dunkerque we thought about stopping in Cherbourg. The wind was so good that we just gybed near it and went on. |
 |
| Going down wind was rolly, but going the other way really didn't look like fun... |
We almost had good wind all the way to Brest. The wind died completely after 300 miles of good sailing. We motored for a couple of hours and anchored in total darkness right before the entrance to Rade de Brest
 |
| This is what we saw in the morning when we motored about 15 miles to Brest. |
 |
And this. For some reason, when I see lighthouses like these I remember the books "The famous five" written by Enid Blyton. |
We'll be staying in Brest for a while. We are waiting for a package from Finland and then we've also ordered some more electronic component for Timo to play with.
When we get our stuff from the mail, we start to look for the good weather for the Bay of Biscay.
