Peter Cockerton:
Anyone contemplating Semaine du Golfe Morbihan and would prefer not to be single handed. It sounds a wonderfull event to take part in and hopefully should be warm. My Bayraider or your boat i'm happy.

Tony:
Semaine du Golfe 2011

Im in!
Bring on the Moules frite, the Galettes and the Breton Cidre! ...and then there is the food you actually pay for!

Reminder:- When visiting French supermarkets take a bag with you. They are not always provided.
When visiting the Cheese Festival take a rucksack! 

Oh, yes! When bringing cheese home to the UK put it in a Drybag - large PVC roll top types are quite cheap - otherwise expect trouble.  I had no end of bother with a drug squad sniffer dog when returning to Portsmouth, you know how Cocker Spaniels get when over stimulated! Damn thing ran off with 500g of ripe brie. "Im sorry, Sir. She only indicates like that with cocaine - usually!"

Seriously thinking of registering now for the Semaine du Golfe 2011 event, and i gather you are a seasoned veteran of this event, can i hear from you or please anyone else who would like to help me on usefull tips on planning for this event. I'm interested in learning from your experiences in all aspects of the planning for this trip, ferry deals, accomodation, what provisions to take, equipping the boat, etc, etc. It look's as if the water can get very busy with craft of all sizes, what "rules of the road" are observed is this standard maritime or racing rules (which i'm not familiar with).


Thanks in anticipation


Peter
