R Trieux

Leaving Ploumana'ch, as on arrival, it is not possible to raise the mainsail until outside the relative shelter of the reefs. Once raised we quickly had to reef, before running, on alternating gybes, towards the entrance of the River Trieux. Although out of the swell behind the reefs, the strong NW wind, encouraged us to sail well into the lower reaches, where we saw a solitary but enormous dolphin, before picking up a vacant mooring about half way towards Lezardrieux.

We had a peaceful evening before our next crew pick up.
