In the morning – I make my normal ritual – go and look for fresh bread. I found a nice bakery and they had a dark bread called Viking that looked nice and tasted even better. I also went to do some shopping and found a Carrefour outside the city and my arms were very long after carrying the stuff home along with a new gas flask. Sweden and central Europe has different systems for gas so I also need to get new bottles, which adds to the load. We bought one in Holland and it is still burning but it is just a matter of time until there will be no hot coffee. Important stuff.

The destination of today is the tiny islands in the Benodet bay – Les Iles Glénan. As we approach the white beaches, we understand why people has been so excited about telling us to go there. It is a truly beautiful place with crystal clear water and white sand beaches. I am born at lake Vättern where the water is very clear and I like to be able to see what is underneath the boat. We anchor up and go for a swim. A lot of activity is going on among the islands – kite surfers, dinghy sailers, tour boats and many yachts. I take the dinghy up to Ile de Saint-Nicolas and take a look and the row of houses that hosts a couple of bars, a sailing school and a diving center.

Crystal Clear Water!

I need to mount a new anode again. Even though the design of the anode is clearly made so they fall off easily, they should last more than four weeks even in this salty water. The mount is easy is the clear water where I can go down with a mask and mount the one that is missing and tighten the other that is on its way. We spend the evening in the boat just enjoying sitting in the outpost to Bay of Biscay and watch as the sun sets.
