Sailing trip from Bordeaux to Brest
A very exciting two-week sailing trip begins in Brest with immediately challenging tidal calculations for the passage planning. In spring tide, the enormous range of up to 9 metres creates strong currents which we definitely want to use to our advantage on our trip.
We round the mythical headlands, feel the power of the Bay of Biscay and experience how the wind becomes our constant companion – sometimes gentle, sometimes demanding, always honest. In small harbours we enjoy fresh seafood, hear the roar of the surf and let the day draw to a close with a glass of wine and stories beneath the stars.
We allow a whole day for La Rochelle to have enough time for exploring. The next day we continue northwards
