Catamaran Cruising

We left L'Aber'wrach early in the morning with spaced between a dozen other boats most of whom were heading for the Channel du four . There was a lot of swell still left but 2 hours later the sun had flattened it. We could barely see Ushant for mist just a bit of the top of the hill .

We have a garmin plotter and alway carry back up paper charts but opencpn on an android phone and hudle (cm93 charts)is surprisingly accurate with a few  tricks such as screenshots .On plot satellite view is available with net coverage unless you download the area on to the phone by wifi prior to sailing. The garmin and opencpn usually agree to position.

The top of Quessant is just visible in the clouds, fog apparently a common occurance ,we escaped from Quessant in fog last year after a wait for a break in visibility which never came.
