Well finally started the grand deplacement, away from the deadend deadbeat Treguier.
Drove through the night from Bergerac area, picked up a new domestic battery, compass and a few nuts and bolts, arrived at treg and had the boat on the cale ready for a scrub by 11:15, ably helped by mate Jamie and sea dog Pru.
Once she had dried out, we hit the nearest restuarant for a pizza and a pichet of rose to help sustain us through the long afternoon and even longer evening.
What a mess she was covered in weed and nasty sharp barnacles,removing them from knees elbows and feet for a coule of days later.
As soon as possible we refloated and headed back for the poontons, and while J sorted business on the internet, i fitted nav lights (re wired them) autohelm, compass and radio aerial, should have done the mast head one as it turned out later.
Rather than leaving on the evening tide, as we were still working at 02:00 we decided to catch some much needed sleep and use the morning tide to head down to L'Aberwrach where J's boat had been languishing for a few weeks.
More about the trip and pictures later......
