"Dr. House"


Ahoy,
almost time to leave Camaret, we will be very sad to leave. The Ol' Girl has enjoyed bobbing around on the bubble and I have enjoyed the company, local and fellow ensigns, Andy and Pam, we had a couple of drinks last night, maybe I had a couple more with the pate lapin and the strong local cheese we had aboard there wonderful boat Felice. Shhhh, don't let the Ol' Girl hear us. Today no worse for it I went shopping for a weeks worth of food, only having about 3 days worth left on board I thought it wise. I also bought some fuel for the outboard and paid my dues, Anne and Delphine have been remarkably kind and have given me a very sweet deal.When I first met Delphine she explained her name was Dolphine's with E's, an image I have not been able to get out of my mind since. On my way to the local Super U, I happened to meet a local artist M. Tonnellien, who after saying I was "Dr House", drew some cool pictures for me, at that moment I realised he was of some local fame, at least, and not wanting to be rude joined him for a small beer. His skill with pen, pencil, brush and paint seemed to a vagabond like me, impressive. Some have been inset in the blog. Tomorrow will be another day of chore's, washing, cleaning, packing and fuel, I might even have a shower. I should have one this evening, as I have a rendez-vous with Anise, she was kind enough to give "Dr House" a lift from the super market, I didn't even have to stick my thumb out, Anise your a star (sorry, couldn't resist). Our next mission the Ol' Girl and me is to head for Morgat, were going to take the inside line through the Les Tas de Pois, a couple of high foreboding rocks sticking out of the sea, it looks a bit tight on the chart, I have been assured its fine once you get up close. According to many there is plenty of room to anchor around Morgat so I may get some practice in. After Morgat it's the Raz de Sein, this means two things, one I need to buy a few more charts, at least down to St. Nazaire. And two, I am beginning to chase the sun.
