The small scale map shows it tucked right into the coast near St Malo

Where is this then ?

Sounds like the place you mean is the Minquiers....... I've gone round them, but never been through the middle.

L'Echiqueles

Surely it's Maitresse Ile in the Minkies ?

Where are L'Echiqueles ??

I'm fascinated.......can't find them on my (not so large scale) chart.

I recall that in the 'Island Race' series they started there. Is that what you were reading?
