I’d also heartily recommend “Kebabish” in Douglas. We ordered three medium doner and the guy turned up with two carrier bags. It seems instead of pittas they use 12” pizza bases and each is filled with what seemed like half a sheep. It was par for the course on IoM as the previous day we had the “Moby” size fish and chips; a whole cod in batter and sack of spuds per portion

Years ago my wife and I found ourselves held up in Morlaix for a week due to unusually bad autumnal weather.
It wasn't too bad. Plenty of places to eat and drink and a train station so we could spend our days travelling around inland.
Unlike the time we found ourselves storm-bound in L'Aber Wrac'h. When we crept upstream to Paluden to find some shelter. What few delights Paluden has to offer in torrential downpours soon begin to pall.

One November many years ago we were weatherbound for a week in A Coruna while heading south.
Ran out of books to read- no problem; just swapped with a Brit boat on the next pontoon. Bars and restaurants were plentiful and reasonably priced, as was food in the grocery shops and butchers.
Read a bit, do some odd jobs around the boat, socialise with other people who were also stuck, nip out for a couple of libations after dinner:- there was no time to get bored.

While taking part in a rowing regatta at Brest, the Paluden rowers invited us to visit their club and try rowing in the upper reaches of the Wrac'h. Despite being a tad hungover it was an enjoyable experience, so much so that my wife and I have revisited.

I ventured there once, there was a hole in the seabed to anchor in
