Two things really.
Can anyone suggest a good fairly recent reference type book that shows and discusses the approaches, recommended routes, bouyage, chart datum info, pictures etc., with cross references to actual charts of the Channel Islands, Brittany and the whole "Golfe de St Malo" French ports area?
I went there last year a few times, Guernsey, Jersey, Ilse de Chausey, St Malo, Granville etc but it was always with other boats, although we did do Poole to Shell bay alone. This time want to do this just on our boat and for longer and perhaps even go further afield, Westerly. Might even poke her nose into the Bay of Biscay? So would like to read up before hand.
Secondly.
Any suggestions of good beaches, bays, anchorages etc that we should visit west of St Malo. We like to marina berth at night, well SWMBO and kids do power for the Play Station and all that, so I need suggestions of some of these also. I nearly got her to over night anchor in the Channel that goes through the Ilse de Chaucey last year after spending a fantastic day anchored up there in 0mph winds and glorious sunshine. Dont get me wrong I can sit down and work all this out but I thought I would get some feed back from the forum of good spots in case I'm missing out.
Thanks in advance. <TargaLout> (I can never seem to get these links to work!).
