20th and 21st May Brest to Loctudy, two amazing days sailing

We left Brest on Wed morning with a forecast of sunshine and 15 knots of wind and sailed 14 miles around the coast to a beach, where we anchored until late afternoon, to catch the tide through the Raz de Sein. The Raz has a strong tidal stream which must he approached at slack water.
We then sailed another 10 miles to pick up a mooring off of Audierne for a peaceful night.
Thursday was also a lovely sunny day and with lighter following winds we broke out our "cruising shute" for the first time this year and the first time when Wendy has been on the boat (we felt very pleased with ourselves) . Two perfect days sailing have brought us to Loctudy, a pretty holiday and fishing village where we plan to stay for a day or so to explore the local area.
