Quiberon

Quiberon, a town on the southern side of Brittany, was a trip back in time for Gretel. It was the venue for the 1981 world 470 championships, which Gretel sailed in with Leslie Egnot. The visit made us realise how quickly the years have flown by. The only unchanged nautical memory was the slipway: the yacht club and accommodation block having been demolished.

The 'yacht' harbour.

The railway station remained unchanged from when Gretel disembarked as an 18 year old.
