Big blue SUPERMOON tides generate fierce currents along the Brittany coastline, and make for some spicy passage making aboard SV Maalie. After crossing the English Channel and cruising the Isle of Sark, we bump in to a shoal of Bluefin Tuna - an extraordinary experience from a small boat. We position ourselves for a passage through the notorious Chenal du Four and Raz de Sein, and get some amazing views of Le Phare du Four!
