The weather looked a little more promising on Wednesday so we drove past La Faute-sur-Mer to see if we could finally get to the tip of the sand-spit at Arçay. Sadly we were thwarted once again even though we walked miles along the perfect, practically deserted beach. I've since looked more closely at the detailed map and think next time we should drive a little further through the rabbit warren of small roads before setting off walking! Watch this space!.
There's a lot of mussel farming in this area and we saw several boats checking production on the 'bouchots' (wooden stakes) positioned in straight lines. Mussels must be very disciplined to attach themselves to the right spot!

We spotted another big jelly fish - we've seen very few since we moved here (honestly, Simon!). To finish, a photo of the last of the sun before dark clouds took over once again. It's been grey ever since!
