Some of the countries on our route have a strong celtic tradition: France with Brittany (Breizh, Bretagne) and north-western Iberia with Galicia (Gallaecia), northern Portugal and Asturias. In A Coruñ, Galicia, we visited the compass rose that represents the different Celtic peoples.
In Lorient (Brittany), we participated in the Festival Interceltique. Here, each summer, about 700,000 people gather to celebrate Celtic tradition and Celtic dancing:
The Îles de Glénan are an archipelago of islands about 10 miles off the south coast of Britanny (Bretagne), only accessible in summer. They are famous with yachting people and are as close to caribbean feeling as a place in Britanny can get. They are well known for their sailing and diving schools.
Eurasian oystercatcher at low tide at the shores of Îles de Glénan. They open molluscs or dig up worms. Despite its name, oysters do not form a large part of their diet. 
After crossing the foggy Channel with the help of radar, the full moon led us the way into the Antlantic in direction to Britanny (Bretagne). High and long Atlantic waves and good winds provided a lot of fun for us and a few other sailors.
