Rain, rain and more rain this morning. Met Melissa from the Drakes Dream who was docked ahead of us. She and her husband Jerry are also doing the Down East Circle. Talked about when we would leave and given the weather and the tide, it was best after 13h. We left closer to 14h, cleared up..we were hopeful, but rain returned never too heavy but still. We used the radar for the first time quite a bit of the way.

Melissa contacted us, and we decided to also stay at d'Escousse which is well protected. We anchored, and by then the rain had stopped. We dinghied to their boat, and had a chat with a drink. Three hours of cruising, not too taxing:)
