The ‘distillery’ is a gothic marvel. And then there’s the Barracuda 45 ‘historic ship’ in the inner basin. Full of delightful surprises!

Yes, Fecamp is not the place to be with any sort of onshore swell running. Unless you can get in behind the gates. The mangled state of the pontoon cleats, plus chains in use as mooring lines on the resident boats, in the outer harbour, tell their own story! As I have discovered, a character building swell mounds up quite quickly in the approach channel. Mid surf, those pier heads suddenly feel very close together. Once bitten, two mental notes made to divert to, whichever is down tide of, Dieppe or Le Havre. If it’s blowing hard.

Apologies for showing this yet again. My wife had a near panic attack when we are approaching in a NW F6 so I told her to get my camera and take some photos.

We visited for a couple of nights in August, really enjoyed it. PAF came from Le Havre and stamped us out so we could leave directly for Eastbourne the next morning.

Best place for Bulot. Always seem incredibly fresh. And in one restaurant the Tarte aux Pommes is extraordinarily good. Must use half the Calvados in Normandy in the preparation. When I eat out in Fecamp I go to one restaurant for my seafood and another for my desert.

Our first meal out, on our first foreign cruise in 1978, with friends from another boat. In Fecamp for lunch of mostly seafood, with Muscadet in fish-shaped bottles, somewhere near the harbour. Peter, seen here, and I and one of our children followed this with a not-very-sober trip in the Avon to go catching mackerel.

We were also there in early September for 3 days, enjoyed our stay and Marina staff really helpful and also arranged for PAF to come over and stamp out, they did this for us the leave the next morning. They told us a lot of upgrading has been done in the last year and we had not issue with the reported swell

We visited Fecamp for the first time in May this year and really enjoyed it before going on to Honfleur, a ort we have always enjoyed,but have not been to for 20 years. The assport service provded for visiting yachtsmen at both ports made the appalling service provided by border force in the UK under their "submit a pleasure craft report" programme look even worse.

The Benedictine flight passed a happily glazed afternoon when we were stormbound there three years ago. The staff were a bit shocked we had one each rather than shared one! It was wild weather and the harbour entrance was something to behold.

What did(n’t) BF do? Usually it’s a hit send and forget job. After entering dates/times and letting the rest auto-populate.

In some ways the Border Force electronic reporting is easier than the French one of having to go somewhere to have your passport stamped.
I used to submit a paper report to Dover by snail mail on leaving and return. I received a quick response from Border Force to my electronic submissions.

I was interested on my last return I put down Deal as my port of arrival as I intended to anchor off and then set off for the Swale. They had no problems with that. I didn't actually go ashore on my return until I was on teh Commodore's hard at Gillingham which was 3 nights later..

One of our club members kept a Princess 35 in there for many years until the travelling to and fro became a trial and something else happened.
Helped to repartriate the boat back to the UK, the boat is still on our moorings but with another owner, couple of other club members called in there last year and gave good reports of their stay.
