- Join Tom Cunliffe in the secret harbour of Dahouet on the North Brittany coast where he talks about the 40ft tidal rise and fall, salt-cod fishing boats setting out from here for the Grand Banks and being part of the Blessing of the Fleet.
Thank God for wholesome TH-camrs, of which Tom Cunliffe is one. They're a rare species and a privilege to discover.
Beautiful little harbour. I bet the little restaurants are lovely. The French are very friendly and hospitable if you try to speak their language and show some interest in their local dishes. Speaking their language is a mark of respect so that should be a given, if you love food and local dishes, you'll make friends. Turn up expecting them to speak English is a sure fire way to get a bad reception. Well done Tom and thanks for showing us this beautiful little secret harbour.
There are more things on heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy Horatio!
Wonderful video :)
Many hearty thanks for your videos Tom !
Beautiful place, thanks for the vid
Thanks Tom, another great combination of practical information and wisdom delivered with your characteristic warmth and gentle spiritual insight. God bless you and your stalwart camerawoman.
Cheers Andy. Really nice to be appreciated. Ros says thanks too.
Lovely video...ended on the right path too...
Thanks for this Tom, looks an interesting harbour we going to go here next year. More to have an unearth then meet the eye...
As an aspiring Sailor, l so enjoy your videos, thank you.
Thanks for letting me know Patrick. Tom
Thanks Tom 😁
Very informative - thank you, once again. We were "blessed" by the priest in Calvi in Corsica but we still lost a lot of our nets in a storm. Mind you, I'm still alive to tell the tale so had better not knock it! But, ah! The joys of the Med with no (or very little) tide.
Love Britany so close to Cornwall in so many ways always spent time there on the way to our geit. Thanks for sharing may visit one day with our bilge keel.
Do that! You won't be sorry. Tom
As you say, nice place. I visit there often as I live in Brittany.
Amen Tom
Very true
Beautiful place, one to add to my list. Friend of mine has just finished writing a new pilot book for West coast of France, not sure if this is included but thanks for sharing. Andy UK
Hi Andy. Dahouet is a perfect place - even the HMs are nice! It won't, however, be included in the West Coast of France pilot. You'll find the details in my guide, 'The Shell Channel Pilot'. All best Tom
tomcunliffe1 indeed, I had not checked where it was lol. Thanks.
In Portugal, dry salted cod is still very much a national dish.
What a lovely video! I'm actually an atheist, but as a scientist I am also aware that atheism is actually a belief, a belief that there is no god, but I'm also open to that which we have not been able to scientifically detect. I'm open too 🙂.
I know it feels good, but "Voodoo won't do you, if you don't do voodoo" :-) just kidding, I know it feels special...
Will have to take your word regards the ocean but I've been in the foxhole, Tom, and atheists, not one 👍
Indeed, there's more in life than the material. THIS which we call "reality" is but a vapor. The true reality is where we'll all go when our time here ends. How our story ends here and then continues depends upon serious study, sincerity, faith, courage, and desire to beg forgiveness facing the True and Living God. There is not a man or woman dead or alive who can use the sciences they call their "new religion" to prove God is mythology.
