Hi Ken,

All Marina’s post weather forecast’s as in UK. There are VHF broadcasts in French – you need pretty fluent French to understand them. We use http://www.windfinder.com which gives detailed inshore forecasts, swell etc. We’ve found several HM use this in preference to Meteo France. http://www.passageweather.com is another useful tool.
If you follow the advice in the S Brittany Pilot you won’t go far wrong with the Morbihan. You move very fast so it’s worth having all your waypoints plotted in advance. Hundreds of boat enter/ leave every day, but it does demand respect. Where possible we picked up vacant mooring buoys (the french are quite relaxed about this), because the currents are unbelievably strong, but where you can tuck in out of the tide anchoring is fine. Holding is generally good in mud.
