Off to the coast !

Nets and rusty dragging chains at Le Dahouet.

  

Last Sunday we had more glorious sunshine so I went to the coast.
Mr P is in England at the moment so I thought I'd have a day out.
                      
I went to one of my favourite places, Port de Dahouet and further up the coast to Pleneuf-Val-Andre where there was a troc.

The sea was an azure blue and this yacht was just coming into the bay at Pleneuf, I love the colour of the terracotta sails against the blue.

After the bust troc it was a delight to walk along the port at Le Dahouet and sit in the warm sunshine eating an almond pastry.

Port de Dahouet.

     At Dahouet they have spent many years renovating an old fishing boat. This year it is done and people can book to go out for a half a day or a full day sail.
The ship is called Pauline and she really is beautiful, I was lucky enough to be there when she sailed out of the port.

          There are lovely houses alongside of the port and this is the one I'd have if I could, I'd spend time by the coast and then come back to my hillside, I'd love both.                    
                       
                                                 


Before I drove home I just had to take these photographs of nets and floats.

The rust of the chains and the turquoise of the nets - wonderful.
