It’s \u00a0Wednesday.\u00a0 Well actually it’s Friday but that just shows I’m getting behind.\u00a0 Mind you, not as far behind as Steve and Marie who reckon they are “years in arrears”.\u00a0 Today we are moving to Sarzeau for a nice restful stay on the Presqu’ile de Rhuys.\u00a0 Gentle coast walking at its best.<\/p>\n

However, we want to go to Cap Coz before we leave the area.\u00a0 And on the way there we want to check out an art exhibition which has been advertised at the Nautique Centre.\u00a0 Well, we saw the signs for the Centre yesterday on the way to Beg-Meil so we knew the way – or at the least the beginning of the way – through Fouesnant.\u00a0 Meandering through the back streets we eventually found it – in Cap Coz. \u00a0Two stones with one bird!<\/p>\n

However, one of the stones had no art exhibition – in fact neither did.\u00a0 The young lady on reception at the Nautique Centre was completely flummoxed. No art exhibition – now, past or future planned.\u00a0 OK.\u00a0 So lunch at the “Feet in the Water” restaurant – right on the beach.\u00a0 Only pizza – but REALLY good pizza.\u00a0 And the beach was another good one…\u00a0 That’s the restaurant top left with part of it’s roof missing!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the way home, We saw the NAUTILE Centre – completely different from the Nautique Centre!\u00a0 And yes – they did have an expo.\u00a0 And pretty good it was too.\u00a0 Lots of very technically competent paintings and pastels.\u00a0 Probably by art students.<\/p>\n

Now it’s time to hitch up a caravan and head for Sarzeau – and Camping Ferme Lann Hoedic.<\/p>\n

While putting up the awning that evening, I noticed that there was a cluster of little two-person tents in the corner of the field.\u00a0 There were something between 30 and 40 of them!\u00a0 Some cluster.\u00a0 And, although deserted, something gave us a bad feeling.\u00a0 Suffice it say that a few football teams worth of teenagers arrived later that evening and overran the site.\u00a0 At least they were all quiet by 10.30.<\/p>\n

Thursday saw us starting our planned circum-navigation of the peninsula by the coast path.\u00a0 From Port du Crouesty with millions of euros parked in the marina …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

… and stashed in multi-story boat parks. .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

… we headed for Arzon and another delightful beachlet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Arzon sits at the mouth of the Gulf of Morbihan which is said to be 115 square kms in area (although I bet that’s a bit of guesswork!).\u00a0 The width of the entrance is about 1 km and with a tidal range of up to 4 metres there’s a lot of water whipping through the narrows on each tide.\u00a0 At 9-10 knots apparently. \u00a0Impressive.\u00a0 Yachties really have to time their departures and arrivals carefully. \u00a0The Gulf is home to 42 islands at high tide – depending on one’s definition of an island.\u00a0 All but two or three of them are privately owned and inaccessible.<\/p>\n

Along this part of the coast there are numerous pre-historic remains.\u00a0 We passed a couple of dolmens a standing stone and what looked distictly like a burial mound.\u00a0 And all within the confines of Arzon town.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow will be Friday…<\/p>\n
