Arzal to La Roche Bernard

15.09.14 – Arzal to La Roche Bernard

A very lazy end to leg three and the end of this years cruise! Only 3.12 Nm on a sunny day so no need to calculate speeds! Entered Arzal lock at 0750. The lock looked small but then we realised that they only open up the further part by raising the road bridge if numbers require it (it can hold up to 25 boats and we were 3!) Marshalled by a very vocal but happy dock worker who ensured we got into the right slot! After leaving the lock we anchored just clear of the very extensive marina’s at Arzal / Camoel in company with 6 other boats for a leisurely breakfast. Our Navionics plotter chart showed ”anchorage” but the SHOM chart showed ”no anchoring’ – who knows? Leisurely sail up to Pont Neuf at La Roche Bernard and berthed on D13 at 1050.
