Roscoff ferry

The sea mist had thickened overnight and we left the Ar Keural site at 10 o'clock to drive the short distance to Roscoff. We stopped at a L'Eclerc supermarket for a few last minute food things to take home. The Armorique was waiting at the dock and we left on time at 14:20 in a fog. The sea was flat calm, the fog gradually lifted and we had a good smooth crossing. The Armorique is smaller than the Pont Aven which took us to Santander for the start of the holiday.

As we sailed into Plymouth there was a cruiser race taking place just outside the harbour in the evening sunshine.We disembarked at 7:30pm intending to spend the night at a Britstop off the Tavistock Road but found that it was all shuttered up. We carried on towards Oakhampton to another Britstop at Lydford which had space for us. It was a really nice oldy-worldy welcoming Inn used a lot by cyclists. We treated ourselves to dinner and ordered a full English breakfast for the following morning.
