Beautiful indeed, but my memory of our holiday in Bretagne is that it rained most of the time. After camping there my uncle swore never to go on a camping trip again

We had a day and a half of rain, but a lot of cloud and wind, but then for sailing you dont mind so much, because you are at least going fast.
Had a day and a bit of solid sunshine though, so all in all a pretty good holiday.
Five mates on a boat drinking for a week anyway is always going to be a hell of a laugh!

Were you the captain? Tagging along on a cruise? Curious about the currents in the area.

As the most experienced (been sailing since I was 4) I had the final say, though two others on the boat had experience, one a recent convert to sailing, and very keen, who had organised the trip, tended to run things minute to minute. But I was happy with that, he wants and needs experience. So I would take the boat in and out of the pontoons for example, or stand by while one of the others had a go.
The currents were surprisingly not too bad, given the massive tidal range there (up to 14 meters), we had a fairly lowish tidal coefficient (half moons) and had at most a knot of current, with a bit of confused water round one headland (but we were very close in sight seeing).
It is a fantastic area to learn to sail though, and navigate, more rocks, bouys, markers and lighthouses than you could want, and also very pretty, with good food!

I totally get the last one.
Why do they put the current year as the default selection? Do they expect newborns to use it most?

Yes. But it beats the alternative.
