Vandaag verplaatsing van Saint-Pol-de Léon naar Camaret-sur-mer, een prachtig schiereilandje vlak onder Brest. We staan op een camping palend aan de Plage de Trez Rouz, een prachtig strandje omzoomd door rotspartijen geologisch gevormd tengevolge van de opeenvolgende klimaatveranderingen van de laatste 500.000 jaar. (tenminste volgens het informatiepaneel van de 'Réserve Naturelle Régionale' terplaatse). Onderweg deden we de 'Calvaire Route', dwars door deze uithoek van Bretagne, langs heuvelende landschappen en kleine dorpen, waar sinds de middeleeuwen plaatselijke pastoors er een wedloop van maakten om de best gebeeldhouwde calvaries aan hun kerken in stripverhaal uit te beelden. We konden ze spijtig genoeg niet allemaal zien. Toch deden we een uitgebreide stop in Sizum.... read more

Camaret is the perfect landfall – not too large of a town, but large enough to have all that is needed – nice restaurants, a good grocery store, lots of places to hike and bike, and a couple of buses to take you to nearby towns. But most importantly it looks and feels so different from Spain and Portugal. It is located in Brittany, France and is a semi-autonomous cultural region located in north-west France. It was united to the Kingdom of France in 1532 as a province. Brittany has also been referred to as Lesser or Little Britain as it is considered one of the 6 Celtic nations. Here you find there is a strong connection to the Celtic heritage. The Briton flag is flown everywhere and is far more common than the French flag. ... read more

Brittany, France – we arrived in the town of Camaret about 7:30PM on Thursday, July 4th after leaving A Coruna, Spain at 6:30AM on Tuesday, July 2nd. It was worth the wait to get a good weather window. Even with that we had a combination of very little wind (which means flatter seas), winds piping up to 28 knots so we made some good time, lots of fog so we really enjoyed our technical devices to “see” where we were, a few pods of dolphins visiting (we saw them each day) and the company of our friends, Foz and Lorraine on the Dutch sailing vessel, Aju. The day we had heavier winds this meant we also had a larger swell which tossed us around some so we had the feeling of being in a washing machine. ... read more
