A tiny cove set deep into the Brittany coastline and easy to miss. No human habitation us anywhere near the small grey beach, with the magnificent deep blue sea washing against the grains of sand and smoothly rounded grey stones and pebbles. Rocks surround the cove and the opening to the open sea protects the cove from rough weather and therefore provides good, safe mooring..

There are no boats and no people today and a gusty breeze sweeps over the sea surface and gives a slight chill. The sky is azure blue with a few non-committal clouds and some seagulls calling out to each other.

As I climb down the rocks, some wetsuit-clad boaters carry their dinghy across the pebbles and away out to sea.

The sun shines, the breezes blow and the great deep calls out to me. I answer. Walking through the waves and over the sand ridges out to deeper water. It is easy to swim and just lie back in the water and view the 360° vista all around..

My hands get cold today and turn bright red, like lobsters.. I lie back and hold them up, like warning flags in the crisp wind, which gives some relief. It’s easier to swim on my back so my hands get some time out of the cold…

This is such a beautiful spot and well worth the travel. The peddles are so smooth on the beach, which suggests some fairly rough sea activity in stormy times.

Nahum 1:5-7 NIV
“The mountains quake before him and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, the world and all who live in it. Who can withstand his indignation? Who can endure his fierce anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; the rocks are shattered before him. The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him.”
