Swirly waters at the narrow entrance to this inland sea shot us through with the flood tide at a rate of knots.
The Gulf is dotted with numerous islands, plenty to explore anon. But today's aim is to lock in to Vannes where the swing bridge and tidal gate only open for a couple of hours either side of high tide.
Turn left at the pink house, through the swing bridge when the lights go green, and up the narrow canal into the centre of Vannes.
