We left Belle Isle and motored 10 miles to another small island, where we planned to anchor for lunch, before heading into the Gulf of Morbihan and the town of Vanne. A unfortunate moment occurred after Wendy and Biddy had rowed the tender to the beach. An unexpectedly large wave swamped the tender as they were leaving the beach, Biddy injured her thigh muscle and was unable to weight bear on her leg. Getting her back on Cara Mara was a challenge but with help from two passing Frenchmen and their rib, we carried on to Vannes.
A visit to casualty confirmed that the damage was limited to a muscle tear, which would mend in time, so 3 days later Biddy is still with us and slowly getting more mobile.
Vannes is a nice place to sit out the few days of wind and rain we are having, a medieval port town, with lots of beautiful old streets to explore. Tomorrow we will head further south, with the promise of sunshine and hot weather by the end of this week.
