condor ferry, corsaire ferry, etoile molene, fishing on foot, pêche à pied

Monday June 6, 2016 was the day for cleaning and rearrangement.

Phil worked in the living room and dining room.  Sandy worked in our bedroom, the shower room, and the wc.  Things are cleaner and shining.

This was the warmest day we have had here so far. The high temperature was 23 C or 73 F. Even though it was warm there was very little breeze and the dew point was high.  It is supposed to get foggy this evening.

We walked out to the harbor around 16:00.  We could see the fog coming in from the ocean. There was a lot of activity in the harbor for a Monday.  The Corsair Ferry came and went twice from Dinard.  The Condor Ferry arrived from the Channel Islands.  There were people on the sand bars searching for mussels and other sea creatures.  It is called “pêche à pied” or fishing on foot.

An ambulance arrived and seemed to be waiting for something.  Soon a large white sailing ship, similar to the pirate boat, appeared.  It is the Etoile Moline which is a ship used for tourist excursions.

Two employees from the boat brought  two  passengers to the ramp and the emergency workers took them inside their van.  The van left a few minutes later.  There must have been an injury or illness on the sailing ship.

There was also some work going on in the harbor for the dock which will accommodate the local fishing boats.  It looks like it will be done by the end of June.

Bar de l'Embraque, crane, magpie, orangina, plage de bon secours

Sunday June 5 and the sun is shining!

Today was the first day in 2 weeks that Sandy shopped for breakfast.  Her foot is much better but  she is still taking it slowly when walking.  After a gana baguette, pain au chocolat, and a pain au raison for breakfast from Maison du Pain we were ready for some activity.

Sandy washed a load of clothes this morning and was able to use the balcony dryer rack for the first time this year since the sun was shining.

We put on our rain boots and headed off for the beach/plage de Bon Secours.  The tide was going out, not yet low tide, so there was plenty of beach and tide pools for us to walk in.  We walked around for almost an hour enjoying the view and the calm.

At the beach, we enjoyed a coffee and Orangina at the Bar de l’Embraque formerly known as the Bar de Soleil.  We noticed a new menu for sea food and sandwiches posted today.  They were not posted last Thursday when we watched the pool fill with sea water. It’s a lovely place to sit and watch the beach, the people, and the ocean even if they are at least 30% higher priced than other restaurants Intra-Muros. Their view cannot be beaten.
