Who's Been Through the Raz de Sein?

I take one can no longer check out of Schengen from Camaret. Once ETIAS is fully operational might this change?

ETIAS is a separate system from the Entry and Exit System,

If you signed in at Camaret then you can stamp out there... ie using the marina form rather than having the passport stamped. I have no idea how EES will affect this though so best to check with the marina

Thanks again chaps. The Raz was in a benign mood - went through at slack LW, bit lumpy but nothing more. Carried the tide round to the Isle de Batz and now tied-up in Roscoff. Hadn't planned to stop but couple of issues with the boat, so it'll be a morning spent with a multimeter in one hand and socket set in the other.

Like all tidal races and dangerous headlands it is mainly a matter of judging when not to be there. Get it right and you may wonder what all the fuss is about, until you see pictures of that same stretch in a bad mood.
The pilot books understandably tend to highlight the potential dangers.

Indeed.... I remember chatting to Frank Dye at the London boat show years ago in the Guinness Bar. Apart from being completely mad, he was very switched-on and told me Cape Wrath had almost put him off the sea for life after he went across it in a Wayfarer.
