After a couple of lovely days in Treguier having caught the Wednesday market it was time to head down river at 06:10 to go further West the weather was of course Westerly. Before slipping out we had to negotiate a German Dragonfly Trimaran that had moored behind Seascape locking us in, almost! With a bit of ginger slacking of lines and a gentle prod from a boathook we slipped without waking our slumbering German neighbours who had sailed the previous day from Falmouth to Treguier. We also departed without casting them adrift.

| East Cardinal off Lezardrieux un peu choppy |
The weather gods were now distinctly not playing the game with a view that the wind was due to back to SW I took a leap of faith and sailed out into the channel to be met with big grey lumps and a wind against tide to make the Solent proud. This was not going to be fun beating into heavy chop with grey green water slopping over the bow. Trebeurden was discussed and quickly disposed of with a preference instead for Lezardrieux which was even further East! What the hell at least we could sail downwind and I was decidedly happier to pop in to the Lezardrieux river and either anchor or moor up. A good decision as against forecast the wind rose again to 33k across the deck. Not fun!

| Quiet anchorage |
It was simple to pick up a mooring in the river and enjoy a quiet and picturesque night well downstream of Lezardrieux with ready access to the channel for another go. So now we had another twenty miles added to our journey having gone east further than Treguier......doh
