Re: I\'m going on a trip

nah you'll be fine.

You have to go thru raz de sein and chenal de four at slack water, high is probably best. Camaret refuelling is automatic but only gives you 90 euros at a time so you have to trek (or scooter woosh) over to get it turned on properly. Better to go to Brest where fuel bit cheaper. If calmish sea get across channel soonest to falmth/datrmth in delivery mode, tho the food is nicer on the french side of course.
Brest is an utter dump - don't be tempted to go into town -they hedged their bets and assumed russia wd win the cold war, stay around Moulin Blanc marina. The best of the hol will be south of Brest, imho.
