Beach Day

Tuesday 29th September

A bright and windy day  - cooler - off to the local supermarket for bits and bobs then on to Tregastel - to the new beach.

Another spring tide day - so ultra low tide while we were there

Jackie made a packed lunch and as soon as we unwrapped it  - two baby seagulls pineing for tit bits.

It was quite cold in the wind while we were sat there but it didnt stop one lady donning her bikini and swimming / walking the sea - her daily exercise.

After an hour or so we packed up and set off on the cliff top walk that seamed popular.

We followed the path uphill and around the headland to find our favourite spot right there - Tregestral beach with the swimming pool and restaurants !!
The new beach was not as isolated as we thought.

Low tide brought out the locals in force with shrimping nets.
They poked about in the seaweed at the edge of the bay for ages - they must be catching something !

On the drive back to the marina we decided to take a side trip to Landrellec - I felt sure we had been before but no - A new place - on our doorstep !

A launching ramp - lots of  moored local boats plus oyster and mussel beds commercially farmed.

I admire the skill of the local skippers negotiating the channel into this mooring - there are millions of jagged rocks - like the surface of the moon - not for the feint hearted !!

Jackie sunbathing in her sun trap on board - me pottering with odd jobs - G & T plus a great fish pie to use up two more tins from the mountain onboard. - lovely.

There was a viewing of the house in Sheffield on Friday - the family from Wisconsin loved it - but tried to negotiate £100 per month off the rent - we agreed to £50 - then it has all gone quiet - they were looking at loads of properties over the weekend !
No viewings booked at the moment - I will keep the preasure on Saxton Mee.

Mike and Jackie.
