We are in Pornichet, a large marina in a modern resort, UGH!
We had a lovely 30 mile sail this morning from the barrage on the river
Villaine, where we spent last night. This is one of the places where Biddy can
easily get to Nance on Wednesday, but it is so dull we think we will head back
north tomorrow.
There are lots of British boats on the river Villaine, which
has a barrage and lock, so is non-tidal once you are in. The river is lovely;
we spent a night in the very old village of La Roche-Bernard, originally a
Viking stronghold, which commands the river from a promontory at the mouth of a
gorge. The river is a good place to be,
as strong winds are forecast for a few
days from Monday and Biddy can catch a train from Redon, further up the river.
Biddy is recovering from her torn muscle, back walking, if a
bit slowly, which is really good news and doing more each day.
