10m Tidal Hub! - Safe Anchoring (Not) An Option?! - Ep. 102 Thula Sailing

Rocks everywhere, immense tidal currents, 10m tidal shifts – safe anchoring? Not an option!? Sailing and motoring over greenly marked areas that normally fall dry 4,5 meters above sea level – creepy! It seems you are always in a hurry. How important a well functioning engine is here as sailing is always timed. Somehow a bit stressful. We are island lovers as they always seem to have developed special characters being cut off the mainland. Our goal this time: the Île de Brehat, the island of flowers and pick rocks! If only those tides weren’t so strong… Gradually one can quickly feel how the sea seems to exhale with a deep, long sigh. The water is gone and a silent inertia settles over the archipelago. The seabed lies open, somehow bare and defenseless, littered with empty shells of mussels snails…and boats! You can literally hear nature here if you listen real quietly. The Île de Brehat is charming, though somehow also very dissapointing. Find out why and enjoy!
