Much of the coastline here has been covered on the way down so I'll concentrate on the bits that were either interesting or memorable from our point of view.
Lochtudy to Audierne involves sailing around yet another headland, the area of water that takes you round the main headland before entering the bay taking you north to Audierne. The wind was in the North West so we motored for an hour or so before we could get an angle to sail. The Ras can be rough but this day there was quite a swell but there were no white horses so the sailing was quite good if a little bit uncomfortable.

While at St.Evette we took a bus trip to Quimper. The bus cost us 8 euritos for the two of us. The bus stopped in the town at Quimper which is a city with rivers an bridges everywhere. With ancient buildings some of which date back to the 1400s.

Much of this part of France was devastated during WW2 and so when they re-built after the war they tried to retain as much as possible of the old medieval city and they have done a wonderful job. It';s amazing that the Cathedral was hardly damaged!
