Opening the throttle out of Île de Ré
A RIB puts the Baleines lighthouse, the crossing to La Rochelle and the Pertuis Breton anchorages within day-trip range. Usual departure points: the Saint-Martin-de-Ré harbour inside Vauban’s fortifications, and Ars-en-Ré at the head of its lagoon.
Today's weather, today's plan
To factor in on these waters: a near-permanent westerly, gentle in summer, with harbours and approaches managed on the tide. Shape the route around the morning forecast and keep a fuel margin.
