After a winter in Bristol Julian and Alison Cable set out to bring their elderly gaff cutter Robinetta back to the East Coast of England after five sailing seasons going round the British Isles. There were still places to explore on the way, including the Brittany coastline. That was so long as they could get their 7m long yacht across the English Channel. Inspired by the song "Spanish Ladies" they decided to head from Scilly to Ushant, then spend as much time as possible exploring the Brittany coastline and attending the Temp Fête at Douarnenez before heading back home to the river Blackwater in Essex. This is the story of how they accomplished their mission in the summer of 2018, a summer when the weather was not always as forecast!
