We left the Indigo campsite in brilliant sunshine and did a tour of the island this afternoon, it's not very big just 12 miles long. First to L'Herbaudier on the northwest tip, a fishing port and marina with a big boat in shrink wrap waiting to be fitted out by the Beneteau workshop.
We had coffee and a snack sitting on the harbourside. It was very warm and humid today. On to La Gueriniere, half way down the south coast. Beaches and old windmills where we watched an old couple fishing for clams up to their waists. Finally Le Gois where there is a causeway to the mainland. We were there about an hour before low tide just as cars were starting to cross. A lot of people gather to watch.
We came back to the main town again where we are spending the night in an Aire with at least 85 other vans. It's close to the town, so we walked into the shopping area for something simple to prepare for dinner and an ice-cream to cool down. We could see a big storm on the mainland near Pornic this afternoon which has drifted over the island now and it's bucketing down, with thunder and lighting, all evening.
WiFi, provided by the tourist office, is free and fast but there are too many people sharing it, cos we keeping getting disconnected.
